Yes, sir them thar RX-8 wheels 'ere cool.
Grassy ass on the comments, fellas.
I'm thinking about it. The RX-8 wheels aren't in perfect condition, some small paint blemishes hither and yonder, so I may go a gloss gunmetal sometime down the road.
The shift boot is stock. The Redline armrest matches with stock leather almost perfectly. The only difference is that the stitching is a shade lighter than on the seats/boot, but it's barely noticeable. The tint is 20%, not that bad. I think the sun and the angle of the pics makes it seem darker than it really is.
Hell no. I had my last car lowered 2" on K-sport coilovers. Looked good, but too many compromises. I need the clearance.slam it dawg

The common folk would never notice the shading in the stitching. The leather looks like a dead-on match. Is the piece bordered by elastic to just wrap around the stock armrest?
And I hear you on the suspension. I had a lowered WRX for six years and welcomed the less-than-jarring ride of a stock Speed3.
Yeah, it's elastic on the trim. The fit is tight, so it takes a bit of negotiating and tugging like a woman's skinny jeans the day after Thanksgiving to get on.
I lawl'd. I thought about using a highlighter to make it more obvious.
The battery cover is putting down 12v to the terminals. Dyno proven.
The tires are the stock 215/45-18 Potenzas. There is NO lip protection, but the tires have too much tread left to not use. My next rubber will be at least 225.
For those that are wondering, the sensors swapped right in with nary a dash warning light so far. No recalibrating needed.
Impressive numbers, but I bet that's a Dynojet dyno. I bet it's only like 11.2V on a Mustang dyno.
The RX-8 wheels in my house that my cats like to sleep on already have TPMS sensors installed. Hopefully they work without incident when I finally get tires.

Man, the dealer's never going to cover warrantee work on your modded battery...or cover for that matter.

I had the tire shop swap my TPMS sensor on to my rpf1's and there was no problem.
I have the same color MS3 as yours, and I like the Redline armrest cover you got. Did they offer the foam padded armrest option. Yours looks like just leather over the hard stock armrest. Thanks for any info.
A couple of pics taken today on Skyline Drive.
I think when I was ordering it that the foam padding option was grayed out. That's fine because it doesn't need it. I wanted the leather feel/look, didn't like resting my elbow on plastic.

I heard they can be found at Nismothecat's PictAr Thread.
