I like the CF lip spoiler. It's understated and sutle, as far as most aftermarket CF spoilers go. Where'd ya get it from?

+1, I would take the chrome door handles off....and a list of your existing mods would be nice. That and your budget.

IMHO, the best mods for an 8, that is, the mods that give you the most, are suspension mods! For get about breathing bolt-ons and tune your suspension! If you want more "umph" save you money (instead of buying n/a bolt-ons) and go F/I. That and trick out your FD to a higher ratio.

The ultimate mod to the car would be any one of the girls in MM's sigs in your passenger seat.

Bonus points if you manage to get the back seats filled with two more.

Do no appearance mods, and consider (carefully) performance mods, knowing full well that anything you spend on mods will never be recovered in resale value.

Yup, nothing says "ricer tool" like headlight eyebrows.

clear corners + exhaust, not that expensive and it's fun to make all that noise

If you're going to bling then bling. Need the door handles and maybe even more.

i think your spoiler is just attached by 3m adhesive. i was gonna get the same lip spoiler for mine, (not cf though), but changed my mind. if it's the same one im talking about, it should be just adhesive. one advise, if you're not purchasing a body kit any time soon, get the front mud guards (color matched from mazda for around $80), to at least match the side aero flares. that's the first thing i got for my car.

Yeah i thought that mine was stuck on, i think the guy who had my car before was kind of cheap because the mods he made were cheap mods with cheap stuff if you know what i mean
