Artzy Pics of Blk Artzy 8

Greetings All:

Just snapped a few pics of my new ride (as of Jan). Okay, okay, the 100 mph interior shot has been tweeked a little in PS, but I like my driver's license - makes a great desktop pic -enjoy! ...

I think I was able to capture the subtle lines in the 8 that make it a classic - this comes out easy in pics of Titanium 8's because of the varied values of the metallic paint but not so easy to capture in Black.

Whatdaya think of my new Zen rims (triple dipped chrome)? Check'em out at www.rennenauto.com ask for Qui (We) - tell him I sent you and you're part of the RX8club and he'll sell direct to you.

PS: next time I'll have figured out how to turn off the time/date stamp

Bill

EDIT: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although I love the product, I received unsatisfactory customer service from Rennen Int'l- Zen Wheels. I withdraw my endorsement.

Actually, I meant to say Rotors not calipers. I painted my rotors to get rid of the rust, grey/silver. Painted my calipers red. I would recommend both. Still you have a very sexy car!

35% - a tad above the state legal standard but you can still see into the car at night especially with the interior headliner lights on.

As someone who has worked w/law enforcement, I strongly advise that if you are stopped at night w/tinted windows, turn on all interior lighting and roll down the driver and passenger windows before the officer approaches. Otherwise, you may be greeted w/a 9mm and jusifiably so IMHO.

Is it just me or does the moonroof on the 8 make this car even better looking when it is up

Actually I found a thread that says if your rotors are rusted and within the 12/12 warranty, the dealer must paint them - no charge, 1-time only.

Whoo Hoo!

I got my dealer to paint my rotors for no charge. The rust is coming back just a little around the edges, but they still look tons better than they did when I first got the car.
