Scored mine about a week ago! 2005 with GT package. Saddle/Black leather interior. Loaded except for navigation. 32k miles with one previous owner. I have a thread going about whether or not I should keep the Diablo Lionhart wheels they came with. Love to hear all opinions good and bad about them.
Here are some quick snaps:

and moded, subtle but much better than the overhang lip...
Its the AutoExe SE-03c, you can get it through Mazmart or CorkSport,,,
thanks again guys for the compliments,,,
This winter I should be integrating the Z06 style intake, but I have to build the functional interior air ducting first,,, Here are my Photoshops of what I wanted it to look like like,,, I printed this out and took it to my body guy, he knew exactly what to do,,,
If you plan on getting this bumper this is what you will get,,, I decided to also get the non R3 oil cooler trim pieces , I customized those by cutting out the rear wall and placing mesh behind it,,, All trim pieces do not come with the bumper, and the R3 fogs cost about $400 was one of the major factors in not getting them,,,
Again the major hesitation I had about this bumper was the BMWesque overhang flare on the front grill thats what I modified,,,

It becomes a hood prop when your car is too low to drive with it on. Don't worry it goes back on for track days where I have to raise the car anyways. As for the turbo car has been n/a for a while, right about the time I changed my headline under my name silly goose.
And to Brian, big thanks bro. The car has a following I didn't know existed. Big named companies and models came over to get pics and the HIN directors wanted to move my car and a friends Euro kenstyle mugen accord (tsx in the states) up front by the main stage. It was a good event even though I'm not much of a carshow fan lol. I hope to see you out too bro it

Show circuit? What part of your *** did you pull that from lol. Nah, no show circuit but I have been hitting plenty of events for networking sake. Regardless of my personal preferences it would be a selfish and foolish move on my part to ignore a large sector of our sport just because of personal opinions.

Well...

Its probably the 6 or 7th event I have been "invited to"/requested. The car has become quite known over here, one cuz its odd, and 2 because there are really no RX8s on any show circuit.
A guy a met from a WireforHonda event which I was a display car for then contacted me about doing the event. I agreed and about a day or 2 later he calls me to tell me they want to use my car as the lobby car so its all good. I get an undisclosed amount of money towards any Regal cinema purchases and a few other spliffs. I woulda done it for free though (or movie tickets) but I wont complain lol.
On Saturday I have a charity show to attend and Sunday is another Mountain run through 49 and probably Hooks bend. So busy weekend. I'll unfortunately miss HIN, but I'm not in the mood to sit around that venue for 3 straight days.. My sponsors replaced me with the N1 Time Attack S2K, a hot car that is now one of the flier vehicles for HIN.
