The local dealer a mile from my house has 4 rx8s on display. I

drove one

yesterday. All of them are stick, one red, 2 yellow, 1 gray. They

want

$3000 over list, all of them were $36000, all had GT

packages.....nice

but too pricy. My wife liked em, but she is not ready to turn in

her 94

rx7 for a 4 door yet. One of the stupidest things is putting the

front

license plate front & center of the air intake! Hope most of the

air

comes from beneath,,,,,

I ordered mine back in January, before the dealers started upping the

Got it for sticker price! My dealer is now asking $1000 over sticker

for

them. I still owe $26,700 (plus tax) after a $500 down payment.

Reasonable,

I believe .. (and I'm a miser!)

And mounting it below that, it'll drag on my driveway when I turn in
(uphill, and over the rain gutter in the street).  I mentioned this to

my

dealer and he said there is a form I can sign and they won't install a

front

plate (of course, that's to protect them, and not to make it legal!

<G>).

But, I'm going to sign it...I think I have enough ammunition from

Paul's

list here to defend not having the plate over the grill if I ever have

to

defend my choice to a cop.

They let me keep it overnight ... still not prepped <G>.  It had a

relaxing

night sleeping in my garage <G>

Where do you live Harley? Maybe some of us might like to go there and
get
a good price. Hinge the license plate so it bends back out of the way
of the air going in the rad opening at speed. When stopped the cooling
fan does
not suck enough air to move it.

As I understand it the lower half of the front grill is solid.  Had to
cancel my RX-8 order when suddenly we were boat owners and I needed a
tow vehicle instead.  :(
