Calling All Brilliant Blacks
#3203
I cant reply with pics on my phone but just look at my page i have 2 black rx8.....2005 and 2009. They scratch very easily and they r really hard to keep clean. Black is just a horrible color for a car

I'd try move it somewhere else if I were you. The plate is blocking so much airflow to the radiator.
So yeah, you gotta drill into that black piece unfortunately.![Frown](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
Or removable double-sided tape like the 3M Command strips.

I did end up moving the license plate up to open up air flow after this pic.
Even though I love my RX8, sometimes I think of selling it because I rarely drive it. But many friends tell me that I should just keep it and I think so far I am.

^^^I just did that. I really wanted to keep it, but as some of you know, I have a torn major tendon in my clutch foot so I had to. I traded it to my dealer for a 2010 Mazda 6S GT, low miles one owner. Almost a twin to my current 6 with addition of spoiler and GPS navi. No loan pmt and it also has the 3.7L V6 I love on my 2013 6.

I have a black RX-8, I now have +20mm spacers installed front & rear, + slotted rotors.
I am planning on powder coating the rims.
My girl says I should do bronze, (that means I have to paint the crest & strakes bronze also)
What's your opinion? Is bronze/gold a good color choice? Or rice?

The ride was vastly improved, and now grip limitation and rotation feel much more predictable.
It takes bumps like a heavier car (Think, BMW or Audi) but still retains that lightweight feel. Oh, and now i don't scrape on freaking everything!
Note: Koni's are set 1/4 turn from full stiff in front, and 1/ turn from full in rear. I might actually tighten up the rear more in the future, but I'm content for now

Here's my new BB.. just transferred all my performance parts over from my tigray mazdaspeed 8 (which is now for sale along with lots of spare parts). Going to be swapping bodykit + throwing on spacers + some other odds and ends til it's done.. Engine has only 4k miles on it ![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
