It looks like there aren't many LY 8's out the with any mods. We were daring enough as a group to get a YELLOW car but apparently for most of us it's stopped there, huh? Prove me wrong folks, Let's see some more yellows! :D
My LY 8 is in the link below. Enjoy!

Bought our Brand New 2004 Yellow in 2005
Hello members,
I was happy to find this board to see that our "rare yellow" color so admirably represented. We just bought our yellow RX8 last night with 38 miles on the O.D.
The local dealer still had a bunch of 2004's (all manual) still on the lot, of which one was my wife's FAVORITE color yellow. Since this will be 99% her car and she has been wanting this for a LOOOOOONG time, I must say she's tickled yellow. They said that this was the LAST NEW YELLOW IN THE ST. LOUIS, MO AREA. We couldn't believe that they changed yellow for white in 2005. That was both a good and bad. Good because it makes the yellow rare, and bad because the yellow blows the white out of the water when it comes to looks (just our opinion). Our car is loaded too, including sun roof and spoiler. We have only seen 2 other yellows on the roadways within the past year. Therefore, yes, we love that it is a rare color. The windows are getting tinted tonight (35% driver/passenger & 20% rear and quarters). I ordered the moonroof deflector last night too, since we like that addition. It is missing only the front flares, but in due time we may get those. Pictures will be up on here soon, so check back. My wife really wants to deck the inside with yellow tones.
First of all, she wants a yellow/black leather shifter ****. Any recommendations?
I've also seen on person on here who had the floormats with yellow RX8 writing. Where can those be found?
In regards to the polished rear and front rotary accents (aftermarket), do those just pop on?
How do the fender strakes (aftermarket) go on?
Does anyone have the door edge guards on their vehicle? If so, are the color specific and do you recommend them in Yellow or Black for the RX8?
That's about all for right now. I just can't wait to get home to have the tinting started. The dealers tinter makes house calls, which is GREAT for $175! Glad to be a member!

No idea, probably custom made

In regards to the polished rear and front rotary accents (aftermarket), do those just pop on? Double Sided Tape I believe
How do the fender strakes (aftermarket) go on? A bolt through the vent and more tape--check the DIY forum in the tech garage section
Does anyone have the door edge guards on their vehicle? If so, are the color specific and do you recommend them in Yellow or Black for the RX8? Don't think many people have them

I've also wanted a yellow and black shiftknob for sometime. But the problem is I really like the rotary design of the stock ****. I'm toying with the idea of buying a second stock **** and taking it to a custom leather shop to have them do it up in two tone yellow and black.
