It's listed in the accessory catalogue, however, its says it will be available at a later date. Best to call one of the US dealership's parts department and inquire if and when it will be available. Part # F151 V4 640F

thank you rx8 zoomster

Also take a look at www.fueldoors.com. If you are so inclined you can get an eletronic fuel door controlled by remote.

one. I am not even sure what it is made out of. My boyfriend just got his new rx-8 2 weeks ago, His birthday is in a couple weeks and I know he wants that gas door. How can I get him one for a surprise?

I believe that is an aftermarket/accessory item. Contact your dealer to see if they have it. I think they have 2: a "satin" finish (which is a bit duller) and the aluminim/chrome finish which is shinier.

contact a mazda dealer. But I don't think it is avaiable yet. It does cost around 3 hundred though

Here ya go.


Jason at JT is a cool guy too.

D-san

Is it just me, or are those accessorie prices ridiculous. Isn't there a way to dress up your car without having to mortgage your house!!!!

I don't think Jason is price gouging, Mazda parts are $$$$

You are much better off if Mazda offers the accessory through your dealer (for example, the rotary valve caps are around $60 on Jason's site and I think in the neighborhood of $30 from a Mazda dealer; on the other hand the Start Button isn't available at all in the U.S...)

Yup, but the gas cap isn't availble in the US last time I checked, so Jason's price is pretty good :D

How does this guy stay in business!!! He's literally 50-150% higher than the dealer or some place like Mazdatrix. I guess I just answered my own question.....all he needs to do is sell one item a week.

Regarding the shiny gas cap cover, I hate fake stuff and that thing is horribly fake. Can you live with yourself knowing that there's a metal flap on your car with a dozen fake fastener heads? Gross...

Call Brian at Trussville Mazda at (800) 795-4755. I belive they either have them or will have them shortly.

wow those parts are amazing, lets every 8 owner really add his own touch and flare. The aluminum gas cap should probably be stock on all 8's....

anyone get the gascap yet

Really? Hummm guess you should come to JAPAN and see our prices. Of course there is always room to negotiate especially for my repeat, customers.

Shipping is included like mentioned. Its EXPRESS mail with insurance. I can always send them NORMAL mail and then they would be cheaper then anyone on the planet. So its up to you
but the prices are a BASE price, the YEN does go up and down so I have to make a medium, and if you like to bash we can talk else where.

Japan and the US are 2 different countries, you are aware of this?

JT

Jt, that "Coming Soon" .gif is starting to get annoying on your U.S.A. parts section :p when are you gonna open that up? i can't wait to see your prices on domestic parts, i know they'll be comparable or lower than other vendors

Yeah Jason,

We got people waiting over here for good deals on the Euro Spoiler and Pillar Garnish.... :D

BRx8---Thats for parts im bringing to Japan. All the info needs to be translated to Japanese so its taking some time.

brothervoodoo--hehe

You guys did go to the Japanese flag correct?

wait, i don't get it...the USA section is for parts you're bringing to Japan and not just parts you'll be selling from the US to US customers? i don't get what we, in the US, could possibly have that the Japanese people would want...

i say you start selling some domestic parts that don't need to be imported from Japan...also, if you need any help with webpage building i can refer yot to many people good at that stuff...let me know

The only way I could do that is drop shipping and so far I dont trust any of the companies in the states enough to do it.

I import parts for american cars into Japan.

JT

when is the aluminum gas cap going to be available

Already are..

JT

japanparts.com has them for 200.00
jt has them for 350.00

Then why did you ask this?
when is the aluminum gas cap going to be available

Also I guess where you will buy yours at least. Watch out for taxes, Shipping and fees hehe

Also no one every even asked if I can get it any cheaper, kind of makes me laugh. I have people everyday that price talk with me then those that take the price off the webpage as a Gospol, sometimes it is, usually its not. Depends on how the month is doing, yen rate, good mood, and how many packages are shipping in that time frame.

I sell I think 1/4 of the parts I sell, that ARE NOT even on our webpage hehe I guess since there isnt a price, we cant sell it?

Hope it doesnt sound like I being a dick or something, but I have heard nothing but B|#"'&ing and complaining on prices, in all the forums I visit, I hear more complaints here about prices for all the vendors. Dont forget this is MAZDA we are talking about. If you want a Honda or Toyota get one, their OEM parts are VERY CHEAP usually.

JT

Been searching for Gascap Cover, has anyone found them in the US. Been getting quotes from Japan at $235.

I want that cap too. I don't think anyone in US has it yet.
jt-imports.com has it for like 260--you can try japanparts.com
Let me know how it works out please

I've seen them on some Eclipses running around, i think with the right body color, it could definitely enhance the look without gettin stupid-pimp or ricey.

HAs anyone seen any?

i wouldn't do it to an 8...it'll look out of place, and why add chrome to the car when it really has none unless you add chrome rims which i wouldn't like on the 8..just my .02

I have one on my Miata (2001 BRG SE) and I think it looks sharp. I've seen pictures on the '8 and am planning on getting one. I personally like the look, and think the stock one looks out of place. YMMV.

pick me pick me

I want one, I think it will match strakes perfect
and some silver 19's with a chrome lip

I think the OEM fuel lid only comes in brushed aluminum finish. I think the fuel lid will only work with certain of the colours on the 8. IMO, unlike MX-5, which has a sporty design overall (especially NA model) it can take on a lot of body add-ons. Whereas the RX-8 design seems more moden and the overall design package is more tight, you'll need add-ons to be very well made to blend into the stylin, otherwise it will look like one of those honda's ricey stuck-on.

Personally, I like the fuel lid as well, but would like to see one in the flesh to know if I'll get it.

I was originally thinking about getting the polished alum. fuel door, but the more I think about it, the less I want it. It's just too much. I do still want the polished alum. wheels, though.

On my black 8, with clear corners, stealth signals, and strakes... yah. ;)

It comes in Brushed Aluminum or Polished aluminum.

Both I think look pretty sharp. I never did it to my FD as the car is old and doesnt fit the whole EUROPEAN look, but the 8 does.

jt
can I order one in the US now

I bought one from Japan - I have a silver rx8. It is has a polished finish, and looks quite decent. I certainly do not believe it gives a ricer look - but perhaps adds style.

Mike, how much were you recieving quotes for?

jt-imports has it for 235.00
what and where did you get it from

From Jason at jt-imports, made a deal, and got it for less than 235.

Hard to say if chrome will look good on the silver - but I have done enough photowork to make me think it will be a good exterior option.


Adds 10 hp you know...:-) j/k

any pics of brushed aluminum vs. polished aluminum to get a better idea.

I've got blue and wonder which one would work best.

AWESOME...I WANT ONE

Mine actually arrived in the mail today - as soon as I install it, I'll post pics.

2 weeks ago mike...jason is pretty fast.

I cant seem to find that fuel lid on jt's web site. Who is the manufacturer?

its on the jt site just click on the clear winkers and they give all the rx8 parts

Thanks mikeb! Im thinking about buying the polished aluminum for my silver 8, but unsure. What do you all think? To those of you who have bought already, would someone post pics, please? If by chance I do purchase and I dont like it when I get it will jt let you return it?

edit: What is the quality like? It's not cheap and flimsy is it?

Fuel lid arrived yesterday, installed in about 10 minutes. It REALLY adds to the style of the car...very happy with it. Its made by mazda, so no, the material is not bad quality. I'll post some before and after pics tommorrow! Much better looking than fuel caps seen on some mustangs and eclipses.

congrats
damn I'm jealous
