I have a 2005 mazda rx8 and i have about 5 thousand dollers to put in it an i was needing some suggestions , i was thanking a body kit , rims an exaust, but any suggestions from 8 owners will be very usfull. what should i invest in first , im mainly looking for things to help the appearance.

 

Get a good set of coil overs, rims, and exhaust.

Price breakdown:

Coilovers- $1000-$2000

Rims- $1500-$3000

Exhaust- $500-$1000

The choice is yours!

 

Mazdaspeed spoiler .. a must (whole kit + debadge is nice) but you slap the spoiler its like WHOOAAAA .. everyone drools as i roll by (no debadge , just mz spoiler)

Rims .. i love the heart racing rims something like that i don't remember .. 2.5k i think.

exhaust go for it ..

tints .. don't have it but want it

lambo doors + shaved handles about 4k w/install maybe 5 .. but sets your car apart from every other one. best looking i may be getting tihs done

 

um........ i kinda think the MS spoiler is ugly........ to me the OEM Euro lip spoiler is 10 times better looking...

In my opinion, rims and suspention are a definate yes...

 

with 5k buy a greddy! then your car will look faster.



as it hauls *** by that is.

 

You could start off with fender strakes, clear corners, b-pillar trim.

 

Agreed. Nice little pretty ups that dont break the bank and are understated, which I like. I also like the stealth bulbs to clean up the lens.

BUT, now I have started more expensive mods... the fun never stops. Exhaust is next for me. It's pretty and sounds better than stock.

 

go with what you think is best... i say to change the looks of your car most significantly with tact... get rims and drop your car. that will make your car look clean and beautiful, but other ppl with say otherwise

 

Mazdaspeed kit no doubt

 

rims and a good stance will go a lot farther than any kit or body mod can ever hope to, get some pimpin' 19s and a good set of coilovers (or springs) and go spend the rest of the cash on somethng else you enjoy

 

I agree, and then add a spoiler (of your choice), tint and rims. Exhaust would be next with some type of front (whether kit or appearance pkg) next.

 

let daisygirl drive- that'll be a big improvement right there

 

I say body kit and rims

 

I say you paint it pink!

 

Looks only? Or Practicality?

Get the RB suspension, then you won't bottom out and still have a very nice ride

Get nice rims then a body kit.

 

my suggestions...
1. bodykit or rims
2. rims or bodykit
3. suspension

that way by the time you have the bodykit and rims, then you know exactly how low you can lower the 8 with having too much problems

 

Rims and Bodykit show the most "wow" other than the rx8 already being a "wow" car. Search around for which kinda kit or rim you would get. Then decide which u want first.

 

(order of importance) mazdaspeed bodykit, springs, rims, clear sidemarkers and stealthbulbs

yesterday I was at LAX picking up some friends and everyone and their mom was jocking.

 

Put some axis hiro rims or cruz they pimp out the ride very nicely spend about 1100 on 18' or 1220 on 19' no tires with those prices check out the web prices they have specials almost everywhere.

 

Mazdaspeed Bodykit and Mazdaspeed Wheels, thats about 5k right there.

Then sell a kidney and get a great coilover system, sticky tires (falken 615) and get a full allignment and corner weight done.

Then invest in some bracing, upper ties, lower ties (autoEXE).

After that you can dial in some sways, bolt up the racingbeat intake and racing beat exhaust.

Now you have one bad *** street machine and a great track car/canyon carver! Also you have done what I plan to do..lol!
