I am also curious on the price. :uhh:

That's just as an individual part. It costs the factory a lot less. Try building something piecemeal from parts, you'll realize that it costs Mazda a lot less to build them.

You mean Mazda actually tries to make money on their cars? How dare they :lol:

I prefer the Recaro "Sport" seat for about $850. The lines of the seat go with the RX8 much better in my opinion.
