If I searched all the time, i would be reading to many " you should do a search" posts. WE ALL KNOW THAT THERE IS A SEARCH BUTTON, WE DONT NEED TO BE TOLD WHEN TO USE IT!

I always wanted a retractable spoiler like the Porsche 996 Turbo, but I'm probably gonna skip the spoiler entirely until I can find a decent one like Porsches.
I like the stock Aero options. Too bad we only have the single crappy spoiler to choose from though I see other countries might get a lip option. Dunno about the U.S. Either way I'll stick to the aero kit minus a spoiler if I choose the 8.

Nice... save a lot of money but the transport cost will be huge.
Have a friend that go to Japan now and then anyway that I could get cheaper in Japan?

mazdaspeed website has prices for all parts of the MS RX-8 A-Spec. All you need is a price converter and an estimate for shipping and your there. I heard somewhere that you could order MS parts through MazdaAus (MazdaUSA for u guys). Worth looking into though.

The wing is $995.57 USD. I don't know about tax and shi[pping (I live in Aus.) but your probably looking at over a grand. My dad is gonna get it. It comes in the colour of your car too.

I'd just wait for a similar aftermarket part from somebody else.

Mazdaspeed websites
Here are some websites that may help you in your quest for prices etc.
http://www.mazda.co.jp/mazdaspeed
official Mazdaspeed website with full body kit (includes interior and exhaust etc) with prices. look for the drop down menu third from the left.
http://www.mazda.co.jp/accessory/garage/rx-8/rx-8.html
official site once again, but this virtual gallery allows you to put bodykit (including interior and exhaust etc) on the car to see what it looks like and to get prices.
Both of the above sites are in Japanese (for the most part) but it isn't hard to figure out what is what and where things are.
For both sites you will need a price converter. I recommend:
http://www.pipsqueak.com.au/html/price_converter.html
just go right to the bottom to get US/UK/Aus prices. Hope that helps.

You can't exactly use a price converter to get the price.
Factor in taxes and tarrifs, export charges, etc. Not to mention the fact that car companies will charge different prices to different markets based upon penetration.
A simple conversion will not get you the selling prices of these parts. You will have to wait and see what the prices will be if somebody either decides to export them, or if they are offered here as well.
For now it's a good link to get some info about the parts.

just to let you guys know, a MazdaSpeed knock off kit is already in the works. By the time the cars come out in the US, you should have about a 2 month wait until the MazdaSpeed knock off is on the market.

I dont know the cost yet. We'll have to see how much it costs to make the mold and all the labor involved, but I'm estimating it to end up around $2000 for the complete kit.
