2005 RX-8
4 speed AT (I know, not the greatest with a stick so maybe my next car)
Whitewater Pearl
Clear Corners seemed like a good way to get my foot in the door so Im waiting on those to come. What else do you guys/gals suggest for some entry level mods and hopefully I can progress to something a little less "stock"
First Rotary, First Mazda, First Rear Wheel Drive car(learning a lot)

 

Tinted windows.

 

some 18" OEM wheels or aftermarket wheels

 

^Definitally should be the first thing you do.

 

1- new wheels
2- Window Tint
3- Clear corners

 

would black be the way to go with a white car?

 

Read the "Owners Manual".

 

Black or white wheels look really good on a WWP. Start off with clear corners and window tint and you'll love how your 8 looks.

 

Black would look crazy good on a WWP

 

Seriously read the owner's manual.

Then Clear corners,

After that some nice 18-19inch Jet black rims and you are all set.

Last, get BHR's Ignition kit or the Accessport.

 

your location in your profile

 

Yes I have done that, I didnt take any chances with my new toy.
and updated with location. Ordered the clear corners from japanparts so it might be another week before they arrive, and Im trying to get the metra dashkit through work at cost instead of the ridiculous 150+ ive seen online.

 

rims please!

 

rims asap!!!!

 

short shifter
oh wait...

 

funny guy...what rims do you have in your profile pic?

 

dont bother with the stock 18s get aftermarket. ive got the sport AT wheels like you and i just bought rims. but they werent my first mod i got an intake first then some little stuff then exhaust. tint makes your car look 10000000% better.

 

hey man ive got the exact same 8 as you... you have base model because of the 16's which means you dont have LSD... bummer i know... but honestly get your mods in this order...

1. Clear Corners
2. Tint

after that its totally up to you... but id get some strakes or maybe some aero sides...

 

RIMS are the first thing u want to do! i had the same thing as you base model AT. us young guys need to stick together! lol.. do the rims then tint. since you already got the clear corners on order.

 

ADR M-Sport, and proud of it
not bad for a loser brand rim, eh?

 

yeah but how much do those weigh

 

^more than stock - but w/the turbo - i'm sure he won't feel any loss..

 

well if he has a auto 4-port like mine he wouldn't want heavier rims but I get what your saying, get lightweight black rims, black looks good on WWP

 

true

+1 on getting a light set of wheels. It's gonna be tough trying to find lighter wheels than the stockies. Best bet is RPF1's for both the weight and price tag...

 

rex:yeah I really side the side angle pics of those rims and for the price
and I'll probably end up with matching white strakes like (WTBRotary),
where did you guys buy your rims from?
and MN laws only allow 50% for the side doors would that even be worth doing?
