Here's what a RX-8 with balls looks like. And it's stealth. No abnormal sounds. The only tell tail sign is the intercooler, and that isn't easy to spot behind the Mazdaspeed front bumper grill.

as far as the intake... http://www.thermalsound.com/proddetail.asp?prod=TSD%2DMA%2D24

The strut bar is an Autoexe, comes as a matched front and rear set, both are 4 point braces.

No, or I should say I don't think so. I forget what I paid but I think it was like 100 bucks or so. I think I got it from the hook up shop but I don't see it on their web site any more. there is a somewhat better photo of it.

Aipex8 - how do the LED hold up with the heat from the engine? I thought about doing this before but was not sure if the clear coating on the LED strips would melt over time.

Aipex8 - how do the LED hold up with the heat from the engine? I thought about doing this before but was not sure if the clear coating on the LED strips would melt over time.

The ones on the underside of the hood (which you can't really see in the pics) are in front of the intake box/battery area when the hood is closed, so those are definitely okay. So far the the longer strip under the lip along the firewall are holding up fine. I doubt it would get hot enough to melt them, I was more worried about the adhesive failing from the heat.

I have to say, with the gold reflective material that you have on the firewall, a strip of LEDs there would look pretty cool! Maybe red?

My engine is just stock right now. I might replace some components and change them to white. I think i might do that. It will look different.

Anyway, cool lookin' engine bays.
