Of course since I'm new, I have to contribute somehow...

Black was my choice with Titanium being a close 2nd.
Great shots guys!

Jedi54 11-18-2005 11:26 AM

Airlock, are those extra fog lights you added??

AirlockRX 11-18-2005 09:23 PM

Nope, those are actually chrome "Deer Alert" whistles.

The roads in Southern OH and WV are infested with Bambies and I found some of these things that really work a few years ago, so I purchased a set in bright chrome.
Does it qualify as rice?, heh-heh...

tiggerlee 11-18-2005 09:28 PM

Awesome pics guys!!
The more pics I see in this thread the more I know I made the right choice in buying black.
Now if there was only a way to keep it clean all the time I'd be a happy camper.

I'm kinda suprised that I haven't seen any gold accents like mine. Must be a specific dealer bling bling add-on.

are they hiro wheels echo?

Black was my first choice, but I actually came really close to picking up a new 04 Lightning Yellow with the same equipment. But, problem was, the dealer that had it was out in the desert- about 100 miles east of LA. And, it was raining like crazy around the time. I needed to get someone to drive all the way out there with me, so I decided to wait out the rain. When the weather finally cleared and I called them- just a week and a half later- they'd already sold it. So, I guess black was the color meant to be- which I had to special order btw... :P

lazymark 12-05-2005 01:27 AM

a lot of people special order their black 8's to the best of my knowledge. I could have bought a blue one straight away, but i opted to wait 2.5 months for the black one

oh yeh - im happy i did

You're right about the special order.
Well worth the wait.
So distinctive that the Sales guy that I worked with pulled over and waited for me to come out of 7-11 just to pay compliments on my "one of a kind" 8, saying that he knew that it was me because of the color & options.
He also noted that even though I stripped the dealer badge from it, he identified the car.
I recanted that I always do that, but if anybody wants to know where it was purchased and who to see, that props are in order.

I have all gold accents on my 8 and I thought this may be cool to try. Since I understood very little print in those links you provided, do you know of any english sites or any other vendors in the US that would sell those kits?

Jyariten 12-09-2005 12:08 AM

There seems to be a shop that exports to North America. It inquires of the trader now.

kwescott 12-09-2005 12:17 AM

That is unbeleivably hot. It will get over here eventually, but it would be nice to be one of the first. :). Gold would look great Tigerlee.

Thanks for the pics and link Jyariten.
