Pinstripes?
ANyone here have pinstripes on their 8 or have pics of any 8's with pinstripes?
My manger here just came back from a Mazda carshow and saw an 8 with pinstipes accenting the lines of the RX-8 like along the triangular scoop part of the hood and along the side.
So it's my mission to find a pic of something like that and see if we can duplicate it on one of our own RX-8s on the lot and try to attract some attention.
Thanks guys!

I don't believe they come with pinstripes. I kind of think maybe the dealership put them on (probably the same time they put on the dealership sticker that I also took off).
I agree, I don't like pinstripes.

I agree. The dealers should stick to selling and servicing and leave the mods to the new owners. :D

OK here's a few pics of the results so far. Very fine pinstripe line, may be hard to see on the side pics.
Nothing horrible, but nothing that makes it stick out.
Perhaps an extra little thing to mention to a customer when their looking at it.

Got used to it...
Mine came with them...I did not like them at first but it was too good of a deal on the specific car to worry about asking them to take them off...I managed such a good deal that when I asked about a mazda keychain he laughed and said that if he gave me any more he'd lose his job! Needless to say I didn't ask them to remove the pinstripes. I figured I'd remove them myself later. Now that I have had them for a little bit I kind of like them, not many 8's have them so it is kind of unique. I'll try to post a picture soon...I do kind of like it coming across the hood but that is just me, what can you say I have turned into a pinstripe dork I guess :D
