She hasn't been getting enough love lately with all the other projects going on. The pictures don't do the headlights justice, they look like glass lenses in person, I'd consider it a success with how horrible they were looking before I redid them.

One thing I hate about washing this car though is that I find new dings/dents/etc everytime, and this morning was no different. The paint on one of the plastic gutter strips on the roof is starting to peel, and I have a few spots on the hood that look like the first sign of the clearcoat taking a shit. Grrrrr.

Looks good. When I initially hunted for an RX8, it seemed all the yellow ones I could find were automatics. I ended up getting one of the gazillion Ti Gray ones. Such a fun car, and despite their appearance, fairly usable back seats.

The yellow ones were only made for one year, so there aren't a ton out there. And the backseats are awesome, 3 of us went to Road Atlanta in it about 2 months ago and it was fine(7 hour drive each way).

I didn't want the yellow to begin with, but ended up finding this one at the right price so I went for it. It's definitely grown on me since.

Would you believe it is coming up on 11 years from the delivery date on this car?

heck no! From the typical wear locations, she is spectacular! How about inside?

The drivers seat leather has some wear, but no cracking or anything yet. The passenger side dash cover has a crack in it(where the airbag is, super common in RX8s) and one of the AC knobs broke, but other than that nothing bad.

Definitely has plenty of door dings and such on it though, just can't seem them in the pictures.
