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

truemagellen

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

Sempher

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 !

EZZY

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!!

mmats69

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

tiggerlee

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

lurch519

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)

Nubo

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.

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....
