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.  :(

Just stopped over at my dealers (yep...at 5:30 am on the left coast!...but
it's 8:30 here <G>).

The grill is solid about 5 inches DOWN from the top (about 3/5ths of the
grill)...the bottom is open. The air intake is actually the long slit UNDER
the grill!   So, it looks like the plate can be mounted safely at the top
center of the grill...ugly but safely.

Now, in addition, ...I just talked to the GM there, telling him about the
markups I've been hearing about  around the country ... he currently has 6
extra RX-8s, as yet unsold (one other one on the parking lot that just came
in two days ago sold last night) but not yet delivered to the dealership.
He has also order 7 or 8 more.

He said that Mazda has not been restricting him and will allow him to sell
them outside of his region (as I mentioned before, he is a high end dealer,
also selling Porsche, Audi, Acura, Land Rover, Mercedes, BMW and an
occasional Ferrari).

He told me he would be willing to sell them to anyone, anywhere for $1000
over, plus delivery (MAXIMUM delivery would be $2000 to the left coast,
COVERED, $1200 open ... of course, you could always fly or drive here and
pick it up, too.) plus the usual tax, etc. Delivery just about anywhere else
would be lower cost.

So, if anyone is interested, let me know...or have a look at their web site
( www.johnholtz.com) The scrolling marquee has a link to the RX-8 page...the
one in the pictures is the one that sold last night.

Jamie said that he does NOT put the new RX-8s on the web site (or many of
his newly arrived cars) in order to keep brokers from buying them. So, to
find out what they have, you'll have to email or call them.

Just fill out the form, or call the number on the contact page.  Be sure to
let them know that I pointed you there...who knows, they might pass a little
something my way! <G>

We are interested. We want a stick. What colors does he have? Robin
and I will need to go to Toronto around the 16th of Aug and we could pop
down and pick it up a few days early. Would we have to pay NY state tax?
