It actually had tint when I bought it. I had them take it off, because I thought the dark windows took away from the dark wheels. Personally, I think it looks a lot better without it.

Yes, the heat foil work pretty well in deflecting heat away from fuse box and ECU box. I only wish I could have gold ones like yours. By the way, your car is very very clean and I admired your car. Job well done!

Thanks Altspace. Do you know what set up you are going to go with? Good luck with your build. I would recommend that you use after market apex seals instead of the stock seals. I have Esmeril Apex seals on mine and it has been great so far. I never has degnation but I got 3 bad bang bang bang misfire during tuning (rev limiter was set at 8500 intead of 9200) and nothing happen to the engine. I would imagine that with stock seals the engine would be wasted already. And run methanal too for safety net.

Indeed. I think it's mostly because they designed it to flow with the cars design and has actual proven wind force distribution to maximize down force.

Got any vids of your beast in action? Would love to see and hear it.

Here is the link to the video. Car was running on winter map at 8 psi. The tune was very conservative. I change the spring on the BOV now it sounds different than on the video.

Finally took some shots of my RX-8 I picked up a month ago:














(I <3 the color of my car.)


(I also <3 my gauge cluster.)

'04 Base with a Borla cat-back, Mazdaspeed shift-****, and a K&N intake (that I'm too lazy to install lol).
