Very Nice!! All the bolt-ons included already. The wheels look like the verts, but don't at the same time. Are they 4 lug or has the car been converted to run 5 lug?

Very nice car. All the right appointments.

The mesh wheels aren't quite up to X wheel standards, IMO, but they look OK on a California car.

Nice find!

Looks nice. Get an air filter on there, though.

I didn't pay much at all, kinda felt like I stole it lol. The wheels, I'd rather have some Epsilons or Autobahns, but these will do for now; as for the air filter I'm ordering it some time this week.

I was thinking about some GXL seats, being that they're cheaper and still have an old school look (at least compared to the rx8 seats)

Love the wheels, and can't beat the sound of a sidedraft on a rotary!
