Looks like the RX-8 "Shop Options" brochure is already out in Japan. Probably won't have much luck finding one around here, but luckily Mag-X (March 2003) printed some selections from it.

I WANT!!!!! tribal azn 03-02-2003, 02:40 AM they gonna offer that shiet here too? or is it japan only xeos 03-02-2003, 08:18 AM Nice bodykit. The red RX-8 looks a little like an BMW 3-series with that :D ProtoConVert 03-02-2003, 09:20 AM Does it look like a theres a lighted shifter to anyone else, or am i going crazy? What are the chances of those mods being available here in the states? ZoomZoom 03-02-2003, 09:27 AM Gamera, good find... I can hardly wait! eccles 03-02-2003, 09:36 AM Originally posted by tribal azn they gonna offer that shiet here too? or is it japan only I'd be surprised if much of that makes it over here as Genuine Mazda Accessories. MNAO hasn't shown much desire in the past to carry a large range of gewgaws and add-ons. RX8FanMan 03-02-2003, 10:08 AM You mat have to order those parts from japan if you want them. Thats how I see it. I'm lovin that start button too man, and that fuel cap. babylou 03-02-2003, 02:01 PM If Mazda doesn't import these pieces then you can have them brought in by www.corksport.com who specializes in Mazda pieces from Japan. If certain doo-dads prove popular they will even stock them. I have feeling that you will see them stock the engine start button that so many people are enamored over. pelucidor 03-02-2003, 07:38 PM The engine start button is a must-have (although quite pointless) and the lit-up gear knob is interesting but the shoe-rack for the trunk tops them all.

But I wouldn't get that. it does look pretty funny.

Isn't all the illumination in the RX-8 Red? If so, it would seem that you would want red on the shifter too... otherwise, it would really stand out. Unless that is what you want, i guess.. :( StephenF 03-03-2003, 09:31 AM That body kit looks great! It fixes the one thing I don't like about the exterior styling of the 8: how the bottom of the front end appears to curve upwards away from the fenders because the front lip is black. I've always thought that this looked somewhat goofy. Maybe it'd be cheaper if I just painted the lip body-color. Any photoshoppers??? :) -Stephen RX8FanMan 03-03-2003, 03:42 PM Isn't all the illumination in the RX-8 Red?

Just think you got red interior, and all of a sudden you see a blue in the middle. That wouldn't seem write. Now if you were going to customize your seats like in your garage and make blue seats, then the blue light would do. P00Man 03-03-2003, 07:52 PM word...... ________ Expert insurance (http://xpertinsurance.com/) MRX 03-04-2003, 12:17 AM I was wondering if that's the optional spare tire that might be offered here? Look like it takes up half the trunk space :eek: xeos 03-04-2003, 07:17 AM It would be interesting to get this brochure translated by someone who is fluent in japaneese. Just to know what all that nice text is about :D akimitsu 03-04-2003, 02:04 PM Hi RX-8 lovers, I am Akimitsu, live in Tokyo. Today I met RX-8 in central Tokyo, near from my office ! I have updated pictures in my website. Let's check it ! http://www.akimitsu.net/index-en.htm go to Circuit > Meet RX-8 I have RX-7 final edition. I want to buy another Rotary RX-8 in the future... zoom44 03-04-2003, 04:20 PM thank you akimitsu! it was very nice of you to get those pictures and to let us see them. welcome:D did anyone notice the orange in the hood? is it because it's in that dome or is the velocity really going to look like that sometimes? akimitsu 03-04-2003, 04:41 PM Hi zoom44, I have asked officials and he said the body collor is Velocity Red Mika. The body looks orange in the picture, and that's the same as I met her. Mainly lighting made her orange. She was really vivid ! zoom44 03-04-2003, 04:48 PM thank you for asking akimitsu:) Neddie Seagoon 03-04-2003, 07:04 PM Thank you Akimitsu. Stay in touch.

Great pictures of your RX-7 also! What a beautiful car. edit: Ha, ha! I just read the part about your utility box with the traffic ticket inside. Is the RX-7 history book informative? and good choice on changing the wheels. The car looks much better. lefuton 03-04-2003, 07:20 PM boggle, left hand drive rx-8 in japan? dangit, i want a right hand drive one here in the US then! RXhusker 03-04-2003, 08:16 PM Originally posted by zoom44 did anyone notice the orange in the hood? is it because it's in that dome or is the velocity really going to look like that sometimes? There is so much gold flake in the Vel Red that it really changes color depending on the light and angle. Red + Gold = Orange sometimes -- it is a very vivid color :D CraziFuzzy 03-05-2003, 01:01 AM I was just looking through the brochure pics, and I didn't see any Stereo Modules. I know that the Mazda6 Stereo has the add-on modules for Tape, 6-disc, or MP3 capability. I was under the impression that the RX-8 would have these modules as well, any news on this from Japan? Superfan 03-05-2003, 10:37 AM They have to offer the spare tire as an option right.. I rather car the extra 20lb and be on my way and have to wait 3 hours for a tow truck.
