an auction from ebay.... but i do not recommend him because it took about 2 monthes to arrive and the were not the exact shape of the mats.

the box it came in will not fix in a rx-8. BUT, if you take the exhaust out of the box, you can sit it in the car like the pictures.

Do you really like those floor mats? My son has them in his WRX and I think they suck. They don't remain in place very well and when they get wet they are slippery as all get out.

If they work for you, great!

Good luck with the rest of your mods!!!

KC, be carefull with those mats! They have a tendency to unbolt and fall off the car if you hit the NOS.

I like those mats also

I like them! Because it snows alot here in K.C. and all you have to do is wipe down the mats when they are dirty! And with my interior red lights, they look even better!

BTW superfan, it's careful not carefull.

The box fits if you fold the passenger seat all the way down.. but it's a pain in the butt because it sits on the curvy part of the drivers seat back, right over the hand break, and about 2 inches away from the steering wheel.

Everything looks great KC! Its going to be a long long winter for you though. It is smart to wait on applying the body kit. You don't want to get that kit put on and then have the winter monthes beat it up.

Two questions for you. What cost did you get your exhaust for since you finally got the price you were looking for and also what did you have to spend to get that awesome sub setup?

I got the exhaust DIRT cheap! $350!! It's a long story but i typed it up somewhere in the forum.

The sub setup was very cheap since me and a buddy did the whole thing. But i did ask a local shop how much they would charge and it came out to be about 8 to 9 hundred dollars.

becareful of those mats...he sells them for different ( the ebay seller that is ) models, and I have seen nothing but complaints. From cuts to ripping the interior. I would not recommend.......

Everything else looks pretty sweet!

I 100% agree!! i got my mats for 30 dollars because i threaten him that i would report him to paypal and my credit card company.

KC

how does the ms kit feel
does it feel strong?

the side skirts are SUPER STURDY!! The front bumper is "ok" sturdy and the rear bumper is the least sturdy.

Me and a buddy of mine are going to put another layer or 2 of fiberglass on the front and rear bumper.

BTW, me and SHOWOFF will both be installing our Borla Exhaust systems tonight and will try to bring a camera out.

Doodsicle... Why you teasin' us? :)
Don't for get the after pics once you have everything installed!

"In another message board about 3 months, i found a guy who just got borla as a wholesaler, but before he could be a permanent seller, he had to get $7000 dollars worth of orders. So i asked him how much for the Rx-8? he told me $500 shipped (still a great deal!) so i was in. he also said that if i can get more people to buy, the cheaper mine would be. So i got a bunch of other cars to go with mine and each person i got, it was -$50 from my order. That's how i got it for $350. But the catch was he couldn't ship until he got the complete $7000 order. He just did that 2 weeks ago and has shipped me a couple of my friends' exhausts but no rx-8 yet. i e-mailed him if can order some extra ones but he said he has to sell them alot higher now bec. he didn't make a profit at all!"

I asked him how much now and he said $515 shipped.

adding a layer of figerglass is gonna be tough

cant wait to see end result

Hot off of the lift, another satisfied Borla customer x 2!!
