cool, nice pics, did you figure out how they bypassed the tire pressure sensors (or did they just ignore the light)

Those chrome wheels look pretty damn good with teh darker colored cars.
Thanks for all the great pics.
By the way, it looks like yellow it one of the most popular colors over there.

I don't believe that the tire pressure monitor is fitted outside the USA.

Thanks for the pics, East Moon. It seems that yellow is fairly popular over there.

Cool pics East Moon - you can see the artistry in your blood!

Guys - check out the front plate on his car - he made a sign which says "www.rx8forum.com EAST MOON" as the front plate

We had a great day. The black car with the polished wheels was probably the most unique - even had chrome wipers! Yellow was most popular, with around 2 white, 3 nordic green, 3 titanium, 8-10 yellow (?) and the rest of the 35 total blue/red (rough estimates - not counted the photos)

I met a guy who I waved to previously on the road and lives just blocks from me! When you know how big Tokyo is you'll realise how suprising/coincidental this is! We got there at 9.30am and there were cars there from 500km away who started at 4-5am! This is a true enthusiasts car and it's great to meet like minded people - both on this board and in the meetings.

Beautiful weather for it too - got the sunburn on my neck to prove it!

You guys ROCK !

Thanks for the pics -- great to see the RX-8 in mass (and their owners willing to bring them together).

I also loved the looks of the chromed wheels.

I don't think they're chromed, but polished. Rather like the difference between the stock '99/'00 Miata wheels and the polished ones on the '99 10AE Miata.

Anyone notice the light covers on the upper part of the white RX-8. It gives it a "lasy" eye look or mean look.

Kinda cool...

Love the rotary in the center of the wheel of the black one.

Thank you JSG,

Yea, I haven't quite decided what I think about that. I do like the 'lazy eye' treatment tho....

Forget Pooh, more importantly is that the "grill trim ring" on that black 8. Literature that I have read stated that option was incompatible with the front air dam. Anybody in the US interested in this accessory and have any info you could pass on?

Forget the front air dam. In my opinion the "grill trim ring" is incompatible with the 8 because it's so damn ugly.

Bad market research. The Yellow and Green are not selling at all. Obviously the white would have done much better than those 2 combined.
