Man those RX8's sure do look sexy though but YEA TRUE REDS!!!!

I really like ur removing the "3" and I cant decide on the side molding but i was thinking about it. one side was already a little raised from the ractory.

ITs wierd to see the red needles on ur gauges mine are white, the red looks kinda neat but i think i like my white better

Thanks! My moulding was super easy to take off as the edges were already raised. I think the car looks cleaner without them, but to each his own. I am on the fence between the needles. I do prefer the silver trim over the piano black though. Had piano black accents in the 8 and they are a b**** to keep clean.

I don't think he is only going after appearance. Probably wants some HP/TQ hence he went with the more powerful car.

Once was pulled over just because the police officer wanted to say "Hi" back. Most find it funny actually.

Functionality >>>>>>> Form

Sure the RX8 turned a lot of heads, but it drank both oil and gas, reliability was crap, and power was weak. I needed more space and the MS3 offered the both performance and the space I wanted.

Debated it once before but the reliability N/A sucked so turbo just meant even more problems...
