They make and RX-8 specific one, but they are the standard hard fold able one. I actually got this one free at the Texas8, I think it was from the dealer. It fits perfect and folds up in a circle the size of a plate. It definitely works great.
I could use the covered parking since I have my own spot but parking there is tight and I worry about door dings so I usually just take up two spots and deal with the sun

If I recall correctly, I got it for less than $10 at a Costco or some parts store quite a few years back.

I have the exact same one but without the "Zoom-Zoom" print. Perfectly fits, leaving no space for the sun to beat down on the dash. Easily folds away. Certainly helps in the summer.

Thanks man, I really love the phone.

Pretty stock, just bought it about a week ago. Finally got the windows tint, and now the to do list begins. For starters, until I move (driveway is the biggest slope/hill in Florida), just some spacers as far as stance/suspension. And after the SRT4 I seriously need some sound just to be able to hear myself lol aem cai and midpipe. Then, if I'm still missing the turbo as bad as I am now, may have to go FI.

Its the RMagic design, if the seams of the hood look like the picture above its most likely the authentic, if not and its CF then its most likely a Siebon knockoff.

I bought my car with the swap already done but it had 90-93 integra springs in it (4x4 status), black bumpers, steelies etc. It was a little sleeper. It's a "std" model, so it's got nothing in it lol.
The car has a jdm b16a from a 91 ef9, has integra 4 wheel discs, koni yellows and ground control coilovers, power slot brakes, i fabbed up a custom exhaust and fit a 24" magnaflow muffler in the back with pie cuts to lay it length wise with the bumper and then pie cut to a 3" 304 ss tip. It's wire tucked and the list goes on. With the LS transmission (economy geared) I ran a 14.4 @ 95mph. With the proper b16 trans I would be right around 14.0, possibly 13.9's and the motor is completely stock internally, has stock exhaust manifold still etc. Just a 3" intake. Cost me $50 to fill up and get 450km city. I had bought most of the parts to build a 2.0L block for it, and some big cams but I bought my 8, so I sold off the parts, and I'm going to be selling the car and using the money to go back and get my B ticket for welding.
What year b16 are you putting in the crx?

Yeah it's crazy how cheap they are to build and how fun they can be but I did have about 20k in my EJ (93' coupe). First it had a boosted D16Z6, then a boosted JDM D15B VTEC, then a fully built and boosted SIR B16A and it ran mid 12's in the 1/4. I also had an 88' CRX HF with a OBD1 JDM B16A and 75 shot of nitrous. It would run 13's all day. I have also owned a pretty heavily modded 88' Prelude SI and I just bought my son a 92' prelude SI (not H22A unfortunately) for his first car.
Hoss-05 has a 1990 CRX HF and he is throwing in a 1st gen OBD1 JDM B16A with a cable tranny. I have been out of the Honda game for a while, there are a ton of swap friendly options now that were not around when I was doing it in the last 90's. Just with that B16A in his HF, it should be faster than a stock RX-8 in the 1/4
Reliability aside, none of my Honda's compare to my RX-8 though.
