According from what I heard (dealership info) they said that since white wasn't popular on the Miata anymore they didn't want to use it on the RX-8..

Yep, the ring plus the rotary accent make the car look like easter rabbit with a Fu-Manchu. :p

One of the white ones was lowered. I wouldn't have believed it possible but there you go! Not sure what's happened to ride comfort.

There was only 1 silver.

Rear fog lights were more popular than I expected - mostly red.

I think I saw a few cars which had the front rotary accents colour coded to the body colour.

As a matter of fact, I am not the formal member of the R3.
But as for R3, They admit that I entering into the member site.
Thanks R3 !

I want to be in a free position.
Since it is disagreeable that I become the same style as many people,
I think that a sticker will be made myself by the cutting sheet.

I think try make a stickers (logo), that is "rx8forum.com."
That's COOL for me ! :D

Thanks Renesis08 and all

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)
JSG - did you happen to inquire as to where those "eyelids" (on the headlights of the white car) came from? In the picture of the two white cars together, it improves on the front end look substantially (IMHO) and it would be relatively cheap.

I would like to find some of those, if possible.

The polished wheels are a done deal. I wanted them anyway, but after seeing them on the black, I have to get those, too.

Thanks for any info....

Never thought I'd say it but I love the car in white.
The only car in the past in white I have ever liked is the Integra Type R, on a sporty car it certainly looks the part.
I find it somewhat frustrating that if all these colours are offered from launch in both Japan and the US (white the exception) whereas here in the UK we only have the Red,Black, Tit and silver to choose from unless we want to wait another 2- 3 months for the other colours.

Question

I love the two metal bars beside the wheel arch - are those afterfits? They don't come as standard on the UK cars... I really like them and want to know where to get hold of a set (really X-Men 2).

I'm new to this forum so please be kind. I ordered a Titanium Grey today. I really love the black but that's when it's clean - and they don't stay clean for long.......

Welcome! A fellow Titanium lover too. The 'strakes' that you ask about are indeed dealer options. If you do a search for 'strakes' here on the forum and look at the posts regarding 'accessory lists' then you'll get the idea. There's no price as yet but we think between £150 and £200.

Ok so I keep seeing this "R3" thing and I'm totally lost here. I have a feeling that I shouldn't be. Could somebody fill me in as to what it is?

Thanks,
