looks like it has all the exterior options and i think it has the rotary packing since the headrests have the polished rotary on it...i hope its a 6 speed.

Hey, just so you know, the dealer (Royal Motors, San Francisco) that you bought the car from, DO NOT take it back there for service. I know because i've taken my Volvo there before (recall) and bought parts from them. They mark up the prices for parts and their labor rate is quite high ($130+/hr). The staff there are kind of so so, and really were into trying to sell me services I don't need (in some cases they don't even know what they're talking about).
Putnam Mazda is a much better choice.
Just giving you a heads up.

OMG~
Nice ride!
My sister's friend had an Rx8 and I was in love with it!!
Even though I used to still be a fan of Rx7's.
He had a nice blue/green/black one. It was so hot. Yours is too XD

Thanks for the comments everyone,
haha yeah i read some pretty bad stuff about their service on Yelp. i think i might check out SF Auto Works on valencia, they work on all JPN cars. I'm hoping they know a good deal about rotaries.

Nothing much in term of the car's speed. Most likely a Mazdaspeed exhaust, and a few exterior changes here and there like clear corners.

do you mean the 09 version? 09 is probably the most revamped out of all the years...and that's not saying much for RX8's haha. Mine is 2008

Only the special edition has this color. Unless someone goes to a body shop and get the exact same color haha.
