Try Before You Buy!

Check out this website to see what your RX8 would look like with a few factory Mazdaspeed mods.

It's in Japanese, but it's fairly easy to explore your way around the site to customise and dress up a 8 to see what combos work and what don't.

Click on the blue "Virtual Garage" logo on the bottom left of the screen and navigate your way through it.

Hope you all enjoy!!!!

Here it is:

Cool site!

Does anyone know where one can purchase the Rotary Crests (Front & Back) at prices better than the recommended $$ ?

Ring around to a few of the dealers.
You'll find that there are variances between "retail" price between dealers.

Thanks Ageo.

Do you think these are hard to fit or unfit, easy to thieve.

No Idea, but you would have to pay a bit extra to get a panel beater to fit em ( or if you know 1). Not sure if you can steal them easily.l Wouldnt cost much those to fit em.

Back to the topic at hand.
So has everyone checked out the virtual garage site yet?
What do you think?
Does it make you green with envy or does it make you want to spend money?

Phillip - I did send a request to a Japanese website going back a few months, but didn't get any reply. Can't recall the website but will look for it.

Nojoc - sorry for the hijack - yeah, would love some of the options on this site, especially something like the nav!

The rotary crests are a piece of cake to fit yourself. They attach to the bumper with self adhesive pads. The adhesive seems pretty strong. I don't think anyone would even think to steal them because they look like an integral part of the bumper, not an add on accessory.

According to www.xe.com:

286,800.00 JPY (Japan Yen) = 2,667.90 USD (United States Dollars)

1 JPY = 0.00930230 USD
1 USD = 107.500 JPY

Cheers,
Hymee.
