Lookin good Phil, kind of a strange combo with the red & black interior, but the yellow looks great! (you know i love yellow:))

You mentioned the paint was off from the factory, when I had my white rx8 the front bumper and rear bumper was a slightly different color white than the rest of the car, as were the rain rails on the roof, seemed the factory did a poor job of painting and the plastic parts changed hue slightly compared to the metal body parts.

anyways, looks great! I couldn't afford to keep my 8 because of gas prices! haha

Well, the car's not back in the shop for some mazda recall and the engine light.

Now I'm driving a Mazda3:)

I'm sorry to hear about your car being back in the shop, but it looks really good.

Herblenny 11-11-2008 03:37 PM

Thanks!

After it comes out of the dealership, I then have to take it back to the body shop.
They forgot to replace one of the interior piece which was damaged during the break in..

Another rental... LOL!

lol Everytime I come into the Rx8 section it seems like your Rx8 is in the shop again for something else. I just can't believe how much it seems like that thing is having trouble. At least this is for an interior piece and not something mechanical.

Herblenny 11-11-2008 04:01 PM

LOL!

I know.. It all started with the stock fuel pump crapping out... now I think its the gas cap or something else.. I don't know.. But the dealership JUST called and said my car is done.

Interior piece, they body shop just forgot to order it... So, it would be another couple of days.

I'm curious as to how bodykits make cars unsafe ???


I'm loving that rear end too, Herb...

i know a few people who have put them on and told me about how they dont work with the metal bumper, thats what i meant by unsafe that is all. i know now that most of the ones for the rx8 you retain the stock metal bumper.

Herblenny 01-07-2009 05:00 PM

Thanks Guys! I do like the rear bumper and I'm happy with how the car looks.

But the damn engine!! UGH!!! My Engine light is back on!! I'm pretty sick and tire of this car and the damn engine light!

Anyhow, My engine light is no longer lit.. Don't know what it was..

here are couple of recent pics of the bumper. I add the rear bumper accent.
