Clear corners was the first thing I did...
It's small but it made my car look much better to me.
Last thing....
Rear inserts.

here is the order in which i installed mods/extra options:
1.) clear corners
2.) strakes
3.) shift boot
4.) tein s. tech springs
5.) hawk hps brake pads
6.) front splash guards
6.) k&n air filter
7.) aftermarket radio (pioneer avic-x910bt)
8.) have motor mounts replaced (under warranty)
9.) replaced plastic pieces for the exhaust finishers as they were faded

i bought the car with 20% window tint otherwise that would have been #1

as for a few future things:
1.) add subwoofer
2.) mazdaspeed exhaust
3.) racing beat intake & duct

1. iPod mod - after finishing, the CD player won't read CDs so the mod is useless
2. trunk space increase - after gutting the rear, i came upon the rear brace which was a surprise (mod useless yet again)
3. headlight washer and fog delete - after kissing a lamppost, i lost the left fog and left headlight washer
4. new front bumper - see above

on a different note, i went to an auto-x event this weekend. it was my first ever, and i finally got a clue what this car is about!!! i have decided to stop drinking alcohol, and am gonna let the RX8 do the drinking for both of us
