Picked up my 8 last Saturday.
I finally got my 8 last Saturday and have been completely enjoying my first week....too bad that whole work thing gets in the way of my driving. I had the auto armour put on yesterday. FYI: I got it at John Hine Mazda in San Diego....they were great and willing to deal (with time and persistence) which is much more than I can say for any other dealers in the area. It is a 2004 Titanium 6 speed with Touring Package, Appearance Package, Rotary Accent Package, and 6 disc changer. With haggling and rebate, I got it for $26500. I love the way it drives!!! This is the second 8 in the family ....My father has an 04 Silver AT with the same packages......I guess good taste runs in the family.

Yeah....plan to keep it stock. I will probably do strakes, clear corners, and window tint. I haven't looked around yet(and I am sure there is a thread)....but does anyone have any information/thoughts on the clear bra?

Will do...Yesterday, coming home from the dealer, I saw a Yellow one and a Red one on the 15. I work in RB and I see a Blue one in the parking structure every now and then. I haven't spotted you yet...but I am sure we will cross paths....

I've had my Silver GT M6 for 3 weeks and I'm loving it!
I can't tell you how many of my step-daughter's friends ask me when I'm going to put a turbo on it or other silly stuff. I'm VERY happy with it stock!
I am going to go with clear corners and I will tint the windows. (I've tinted several of my previous cars windows since my 95 Civic VX once I learned the difference it makes on having to run the A/C. Well, I have it professionally done, and I'd recommend it to you as well)
You got an excellent deal on your ride!
:D

I've had it done on my Saab 9-5 and have been very satisfied. Virtually invisible on light color cars, such as silver and titanium, it is barely discernible on the dark colors such as my nordic green.
