The "Mods I Love" Thread

After going through the mods I regret thread I thought I would make one for the mods that everyone is glad that they did.

I'll start off with my list:

Clear Corners: Car looks way better than with the stock orange ones.

Tint: I have a Black rx8 and tint is just necessary for black cars in my opinion.

Video Switcher: After seeing truemagellen's thread on his video switcher (https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...ight=DIY+video) I really wanted to do this also, but did not want to spend all that money. Found a video switcher on ebay for $150, dvd player for $100 and back-up cam for $30. Now I have a dvd player with tv, video ipod hookup, and a backup camera. Camera is great for parking, video is good for drive-thrus and I can play any video off my ipod onto my nav screen. My favorite mod.

Glad I debadged it. Looks good with a tint on a black car. Now I just need to lower it a little.

turbo, all the way.

Also Access Port.

And my Gram Lights wheels, I love those.

And my HKS Hi-Power exhaust, I love it. I've had that exhaust for nearly a year now and I still rev it just to hear the sweet music it makes.

to add to that, you should put a cam on the front for autox vids.... that'd be killer, but would need a DVR tied into it somehow.


Think the best mod I've seen is the removal of the flamer rear aeros

Definitely my Flux Capacitor from FuturePerformance Inc. Whenever I need to get gas, I just hit 88mph and head back to about the late 80s for cheap gas.
