It's you and me all the way L&L.

I guess clear corners means those front side markers, yes?

Yup, just looked at it again, they should go clear. Amber looks like hell.

<HIJACK THREAD>

Thanks for the pictures, RP. For me they are a bit of a revelation.

That stick-on shipping cover Mazda uses finally explains the scratches on my headlight lenses since my car was delivered to me. Both headlights had identically shaped and placed marks, yet the car had less than 3 miles on it when I took possession.

I never felt like I got the straight story from the dealer. My (white) car came from an out-of-state dealers inventory, and was trucked to my dealer. They said the original dealer (or the shipping company) must have damaged them.

Sorry for the off-topic post...

You know how often I get told to get clear corners? LOL.
I don't think they look good on Ti Gray.
So I'm keeping my amber corners :b

Plus.. clear corners make your car suffer a 5hp performance hit.. PER CORNER!!

No matter what color car, amber corners look like ****. Get clears. It's how Mazda intended the car to look, hence why every other region has clear corners.

Well, that's one opinion, I guess. I prefer the amber, but I guess we'll save that discussion for it's own thread...

Speaking of Jets, RP I did talk to someone who knows your friend in Ocala. I have not met him yet. Currently, I am in Johanesburg, South Africa, picking up a jet.

We have some stops in Europe to do, but this thing can go nonstop back to the us. I figured out that we carry enough fuel to drive an RX-8 110000 miles, even with it bad gas milage.

Yes, but even supercharged the Rx8 could not even move if it hauled that much fuel around. It might be able to power the fuel pumps. Or the APU. That's if it could run on Jet fuel.
