OMG ... very nice photos indeed... and very, very clean. I am particularly inpressed by the interior. Lots of people spend ages cleaning the outside, but spend relatively less time on the inside, and the inside of your 8 is truly spotless. Good on you, and shame on me. I haven't washed my car for weeks.

The thing that'd finish the Mazdaspeed 8 is the Magnesium alloy Mazdaspeed racing wheels, the Mazdaspeed exhaust (might already be on it but the tips look a bit small), Mazdaspeed gauges, and ....... that's all I can think about. Mazda makes a lot of Mazdaspee d aprts for the 8 but they're all so small and visual. Oh the suspension too!

haha, nah. too much work. you have to fill the holes and such. but it does make a huge difference without the emblem. your ride is still fine. i wish i had the gauges. nice ride btw.

Just curious, did you put the strakes up yourself? I am seriously thinking of getting a set of strakes myself, and clear corners as well, but I am worried that I might not be able to do a good job myself ... esp that I have seen photos on this board, where some strakes are not set straight, looking very odd ... is it worth the extra to let Mazda do the job for me?

I was shopping online and a set of strakes and clear corners would be less than Can.$400 (include shipping), which I reckon is reasonable.

The strakes is DIY, very easy to do (15 minutes job). For Can$400, I receommend you to get a quote from www.japanparts.com (http://www.japanparts.com) ask for Graham. As for the clear corner, all Japan's RX-8, it comes with it originally. :)

As previously stated, strakes are an easy install, and it is NOT difficult to set them straight. If you simply align them with the little plastic horizontal "fins" on the vents, they'll come out fine. Oh, and you can get both strakes and clear corners for considerably less than $400. I got the stainless strakes from rx8-accessories.com in the UK (half the price of the OEMs AND they look better IMHO), and clear corners can be had for roughly $60 shipped...they're frequently listed on Ebay or in the For Sale section here on the boards.

You can get both for roughly $200 US. And I agree, that guage pod kicks ass.

That guage pod is awesome!

I got my strakes on ebay a couple years ago, and they still look new. (I'm not sure if the guy is still selling them...I think he was in the UK or something?)

I think I also paid ~$50 shipped fo rmy clear corners. You can install both of them very easily. Take the money you'd save by paying the stealership to install them, and put it towards your next mod!

If I had the spoiler,front bumper, and b piller rx8 that car would be identical to mine.It might look identical on the outside, but probably not on the inside.

The true JDM MS RX-8, if that is what Benny owns, is more than just the body kit. There are suspension changes, lightweight flywheel, exhaust and many other minor changes. And it also has a different ECU program, which is suppose to yield more HP, although Mazda Japan never listed an exact HP rating for the JDM MS RX-8.

But from the pics alone, I can't tell if it's really a factory JDM MS RX-8, or a car that's dressed up to look like one.
