I installed a Stock spoiler, The front and rear ROTARY ACCENT package, Fender Strakes, RX-8 center caps, and installed chrome tail-lights and clear side markers with the chrome lights. The chrome lights still light up amber so no problem seeing them at night. I also bought a Black/Grey custom RX-8 Car cover. The car has about 13,000 miles on it. The Kelley Blue book Retail price is 25,540 and Private sell is 22,475 base. Also I have custom SHINKA plates. Asking 21,000 OBO. Any reasonable offers will be considered!
