Welcome Seth!
I, too, have a titanium. Mine is stock touring 6-speed (of course). I did change my side markers to clear and have so far left the front plates off.

Where is a good place to get clear markers at, that would make it look so much better.( it would be a good gift idea for someone in my family) My front plate is also off. It just dosent look good at all with it on. I had to add leaving the plate off into my budget. Just after i got the car, less than 30 days, damn St. Peters cops gave me a ticket. Talk about an *** hole. But its still staying off.

First off it didnt help me that i was speeding a little, 43 in a 25. I was on the way to pay my sales tax, im guessing it was the end of the month so the guy had to make quota. He gave me two tickets by the way. It might have also been that i am still yourg (20) and had a nice car, that in it self can make some people mad. He was probrably just jelous he couldnt afford one.

Where do you live out here in St. Charles? Must be close to me since we get next to each other once in a while in the evenings after work on Arena Parkway. I assume you have seen me pull into my street a couple of times when you were in front of or behind me.......usually in front of me you damn maniac!! :D
I got my clear side markers from Rotary Extreme. Just put them on over the weekend, and they look SO much better than the stock orange ones. I also have no front plate and do not plan to put it on. I'll wait to get ticketed a couple of times. I agree that it looks like **** with that thing on there. Totally ruins the whole "mean" look of the front end. I have the rotary accent package and the fender strakes too by the way, so my car is not totally without options.

I didnt mean it like that. Is their any cheaper places to get those clear corners, $70 is alot for those. I am hopeing to get some stuff for my car for christmas.
By the way, im not a maniac:p everyone else just drives to slow. By the end of a long work day their is nothing worse than sitting in traffic on your way home. Expecially when your sitting in an 8.

It's fun to finally get to speed a little right before I get home. It seems to dilute the been-stuck-in-slow-traffic-for-too-long frustration when your behind the wheel of a fun car.
race you soon......
by the way.......I think that $70 is about the going rate for those side markers even if you find them somewhere else. It is a little expensive for a couple of friggin' lenses.

It's just that we all know the rules. If we want to dance, we must be prepared to pay the piper.

Hi guys
Heya guys,
I'm not in St. Charles, but live in St. Louis and travel to St. Charles often.
Until today, I've only see 2 cars in the St. Louis area- Mine (black) and a yellow.
Although today I did see a silver on the way home, and didn't have time to wave- I was shocked.
What are the side things you are talking about purchasing?
I have my front license plate on also, how much is the ticket? I would love to take it off.

The ticket is only $68. And that dosent go against you on your record.
On another note, does anyone know who else has an 8 at St. Charles Community College. They got mine right after me, i was so pissed.

On another note, it looks like prices are dropping. Bommarito Mazda St. Peters latest ad in todays Post listed 8s starting at 24,995. That's a little down from their earlier ads of 25,700.
Lastly, in last Sundays Post, the fear factor 8 winner listed his car for sale for 29something with an msrp of 31something. My guess is he owes 7-10 grand in income taxes and is selling for that reason. I know the first fear factor 8 winner is a member. Is the second winner, the gut from St. Peters, a member here?
