Shinka Sighting
Was up at the local Mazda dealer Wednesday night... driving behind the building to find a parking spot, and there was a shinka hiding back there. I snapped a couple pics. Wasn't really sure if this was a big deal or not... are these things available now? It just seemed kind of cloak and dagger.

I feel just the opposite... love the paint, don't like the interior. Sure, new it looks fantastic, but as a current tan leather owner... man it's a b*tch to keep clean. Not worth it, IMO.

Sticker that says 'Shinka'. No big deal folks. I drove one then immediately drove an 04 black on black. Both 6-speed. NO DIFF. The Shinka has Sirius integrated, so if you love Howard then you'll need this one, but $8K is a lot to spend on morning radio, ya know?

there are pores in the rubber...you must fill them up with a coat...then wait several minutes for it to penetrate...then do it again
after 3 coats it will stay shiny for day
but just so you know they JUST shined them up....the car was washed in that position or close too...the reason on know is the rotors are rusted...the brakes haven't been used to clean it up

I like the interior of the Shinka, but i can't stand that exterior color.
