Looks FANTASTIC Shinka!!! I've always been a fan of the OEM appearance pkg. I think the front air dam would look great on your 8. Lookin' sexy chica!! :D

I actually came across this website one day and was curious how their products were. Did you have a pleasant experience with them? How much was shipping?
I'm just not sure I can fork out the cash right now to get what I want - aero rear flares, ms sides and air dam in front.

I definitely vote yes on the air dam, if nothing else, just to see how it looks on the Shinka

Shinka rx8 is too long, and I have thought about shinka 8 or the L Shinka.

L Shinka - do you have AIM? if so, what is your screen name?
the guy at Mazdatrix was very nice...his email is geoff@mazdatrix.com
the OEM appearance pkg only comes in black cherry......the other pieces ie Mazdaspeed you can get primed so you will have to get custom painted....that wont be a problem though but may be more $....his prices are cheaper than the dealer and shipping is nominal...
i just sent him a pic today...
PS...I use meguiars NXT
PSS.....believe it or not, I bought that MrClean car wash gadget @ Walmart and its fantastic...I used to use a chamois to dry the car because of water marks...now they are vritually non existent!!!

Very nice! You didn't mention your RB oil screens. I think they add a nice subtle emphasis to the front end.

Thanks.....I'll take that as a compliment as they arent actually RB oil screens...I made them myself from a roll of hardware cloth that I got from Home Depot....cost me about $5.00 and I have enought left to make a new set for every year I own the car..... :D

actually I thought about it long and hard....listened to a lot of audio wavs ......spoke to some people.....did some extensive research on pricing and decided to go with the Borla....it was the sound and the price actually...I was able to get it for 650....and I wanted something a little deeper than the greddy or RB....btw...Im very happy with my decision...

you can get them cheaper elsewhere: ie ebay and DMenac7 on the forum
check it out before you buy them as they can be costly otherwise...

Definitely go with the air dam unless your going to go with a different front end, it makes a shinka look better. I think NXT looks pretty good with that color, works fine on the wheels as well.
