hey guys, im tight on cash, so i was wondering what inexpensive mods you guys have done? up to maybe 100 bux.. it can include small things too, like clear corners.. which i already have, btw

 

remove the airbag stickers on the sunvisors :D

(btw if you have the sticker...just peel it off using a goo gone product...if it seems like it is silk screened on, so to speak, remove the visors, get a cheap break cleaner...spray it on, and wipe away

 

erm..... well u got ur clear corners... why dont u get the rotary armrest pad. its fantastic. its perfect and only about 25 bucks. you can also get get a new shift **** too. momo makes some nice ones, and greddy has a nice one too. polak (sp?) also sells rx8club.com decals for ur 8, so u can sport our bad *** club off. and right now hes is selling custom made and rather beautiful shift boots and e-brake boots too. its all out custom to the stitching. Im sorry to say i havent gotten mine yet. Hope this helps ya. Oh, also ur not going to find really anything to help with performance, just appearence. good luck... and start saving !

 

Removing the Moonroof visor :D

 

^^ thats a good, and cheap mod too. also... do something with the sunvisors... they put in a costom cheese shredder... thats what the holes are only good for.. so take it out, unless u wanna make nachos......hmmmmmm......nachos :p

 

3rd brake light RX-8 mask (in stealth mode of course )

 

oh yeah and also brake paint, paint ur brakes its awsome and looks great. i reccomend u do that its about 30-40 bucks

 

this is kinda the wrong car for cheap mods

maybe a license plate frame

 

colour code the rotary thingos on your seat.
spray can isnt exxy right? :D

 

If you're so short of cash, why do you want to spend money on mods? The car is fantastic as is.

 

I suggest a "Hemi" emblem- good for five MPH in the turns!!

 

Go for the strakes. Each one adds 15hp. And that aint no lie!

 

Hymee Grill Screens...save your A/C condensor and look cool ! :D

 

^ now that's a mod that will save you money in the long run. Good suggestion :D

 

Driver Ed school. A local event will cost you $300

 

make your own engine ground kit. parts at a car stereo shop should run bout 50 bucks or less.

royal purple synthetic oils. (if you are comfortable running synth)

piaa bulbs (headlight, marker lights or fog lights)

greddy air diversion plate (nice dress up piece for under hood)

 

I found color-matching the fender vents to be a nice mod. As time goes on I like it more and more. I think it adds interest to the vents. Done properly, the paint should be durable. Less than $100 for materials.

car and driver announced it for $99. check this up coming issue in the RX8 long term coverage section


and yes i agree with jtimbck2, the car is good as is. i was just wondering what mods i can do for a cheap price

 

i absolutely hate that..... sorry

 

Aye.

Use that hundred on the zaino starter kit.

 

hate is a strong word...only use it for:

1. Moonroof visor
2. Spinner Wheels
3. Racing Stripes
4. Veilside anything
5. Park Bench wing

 

4. veilside anything... really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really hate

 

haha :D

 

truemagellen, speaking of spinners.. believe it or not i saw a 04 rx8 yellow with 20 inch spinners looking like a spider web... had purpleish tints, a rediculously huge aluminum wing, and a very rice aroni exhaust. i wish i had my digi with me....

 

What's a moonroof visor?
