yessir, they came with the performance package, $3000 extra. I thought it was a good deal, cold air intake, 2 traingle crests, mazdaspeed rims/wheels, and spoiler. 18'' wheels

Congrats and welcome.

I am partial to the MS kit. It would look great in your color, too.

Appearance package - you keep the same bumper but add the bottom piece(look at pic,Blk 1st car and VR 3rd car)...side deflectors... Anything that isn't Mazdaspeed...

Jurrasic,

Hey man, congratulations on your 8! Looks sweet. I am from Ottawa too although have been living in London Ont. for many years. I'll be heading to Ottawa for the xmas holiday ... maybe see you around.

Where did you get your car? I bought mine at Bank St. Mazda although I've heard plenty of negative stuff about them and they did forget to give me some stuff when I got mine. Hope you're enjoying the snow driving.

Enjoy.

yea i bought mine from bank street mazda aswell, and yea I was not completly satisfied. They dont really know anyhting abotu the RX, I mean one thing our sales guy told us that the performance package did not ocme with the spoiler, so they charged us EXTRA for the spoiler with the performance package (extra $750). also he didnt know the difference between he GS and the GT, he told me that the GS' cd player can only fit 1 cd, and not have any cup holders, and not have digital speedometer. Turns out it had the cupholders, the digital speedmeter, and can fit 6 cds, same with the GT. Our sales guy was lucky to have found me, serioiusly, he doesnt deserve it.

you should have learned how to drive a stick, it would not matter if you learned on this car anyway. the transmission will go out anyway so they will think it is just theie fault lol. Auto are slower, and get worse gas mileage, no advantage except for the lazy factor...

That's a sharp ****.

I wanted a black/black as my first choice, but none were in stock.

The appearance package looks great on the black.

Okay, does anyone know what Oil cooler screens Leesha has? They are a bit more subdued than the Racing Beat screens which I believe change the look of the front end due to them being silver.
