I'm glad you guys do, those orange corners on Gomez car came from my 8 in the states. What do other people down under think of them?

I wanted to buy the true MS rear, but it requires an OEM bumper in good condition to attach to. My rear bumper was hit and cracked...so I would need to replace the OEM bumper as well....so you'd have to add another 4-500 bucks on top of the MS rear price to see what I would have to pay.

you say you don't want to be a ricer but you have that huge rotary sticker on the passenger side window. I think your 8 would look good w/out it.

Ok stickers are off now. Looks much cleaner. Just couldn't bear to tell my friend that they look to busy. He was so excided that he made them. Anyone notice the not quite even drop from the Eibach springs? I am changing them out to Tein or H&R springs.

Not quite even drop?

How long you have the spring for? The one I saw was ok.

You may want a coilover then if you worry about mm of difference... they look fine to me

If your looking for something rotary or rx8club oriented you can't go wrong with Polak's rx8club decals.

Yonni,

That is a great looking BB. Have you thought about getting the front splash guards? I think they round out the appearance package quite nicely.

VERY clean looking, keep up the great work.

Thanks. I thought about getting the front guards but I might get Mazdaspeed side skirts in the future so I did not get them.

YonniRX8,
Looks Great! BB is the best color!
Next you'll get to paint your rusty hubs!
Also, for those people with dial-up, it'll take half an hour for your photo's to load.
Might want to resize them or use our thumbnail option...

Looking good Yonni!!

Just noticed you have the piano black b pillar covers. I guess from most of the pics I've seen the "rx8" logo looked bigger. Can that logo be removed? I've been looking for something similar but without the logo. I may have to just remove the flat black covers and reveal black underneath if I can't find anything.

Nope can't remove the Rx8 logo. In fact I have another one in stock still in the wrapping for the passenger side if you want it let me know, maybe we can work something out.

Appreciate it Fabro but I'd need one for each side. Someone posted a link to some that did not have the logo. Just plain piano black, but not sure of the quality though. They were kinda pricey at $109. I'm still looking for that link.

I still may just remove the flat black covers and go with what's underneath.
