Pics of my new RX8
I bought a new RX8 last week!!! It's a 6speed with appearance package, sport package and spare tire kit. I didn't get GT package because I didn't want the sunroof due to helmet room issues since this will be a track car. Also lighter weight without the power seats and more structural rigidity without the sunroof.
Weather here sucks so I just shot these in the driveway. Thanks for looking.
Oh, and clear corners will be ordered shortly.

To each his own, Pilot. Like most here, I am not into the ricey or big wing look at all (big wing + small body size = disproportionate look), especially on the 8, but I read some of your older posts and appreciate that you make no bones about the fact that you like the rice, 2-fast-2-furious look. I don't expect you to agree with me, just like you're not trying to force us to fall in love with your tastes. I can respect that. Looking at the pics of your 8, I would only have suggested that you have done all your mods at one time rather than piece-by-piece. The 8 has such a clean look untouched that you can't really pull off the half-stock, half-riced look with this car, if any.

I'm not a big fan of the stock spoiler which is one of the reasons that I bought this black car. I think the appearance package without the spoiler is absolutely beautiful and has clean lines.
I also like the way that the plastic in the back blends into the rear much better on a black car.
Only mod that I'm considering is some clear corners. Other than that this car will stay clean. It's a track car afterall, not an HIN show car.

Do a search for cost or ask your dealer. If installed by dealer their will be no warranty problems but it will cost a bit more. Their are differant claims for hp gain but the real gain is faster spool up.
