09 Aurora Blue R3 pics
I've been working on getting some things fitted on and everything bolted together and i've finally gotten all of it done. I'll have to grab some underhood photos tomorrow and i'll up date.

Mods so far are:
JIC 4-point strut bar
JIC FLT-TAR coilovers
Hotchkis front and rear sway bars
adjustable endlinks

and several carbon fiber things which are:
intake
hood
trunk
mazdaspeed spoiler
mirror covers
center console trim
and inner door handle bezels

here's a few quick pics i snapped today before i had to get back to the house to get ready to go meet up with some friends:

hope all of you enjoy!

Looks great! I love the R3 bumper. How much did you drop it with the coilovers?

Looks fantastic, I'm starting to warm up to the R3... maybe some wheel spacers to flush it up, unless you're planning some aftermarket wheels.

thanks for all the kind words guys. It's a little discouraging finding nothing for the 09+ rx-8's "specifically" so i started improvising a bit. Everything fit perfect on the car except the JIC 4-pt strut bar, and all that had to be done was the two bolt holes that mount at the back of the engine bay had to be opened up a bit to fit onto the stock studs that the stock 4-pt mounts to.

rodjonathon: i'd like to make a meet down in houston but i have no idea when my schedule is going to allow me to do that. i'd really like to make it out to houston and dallas because i know a lot of guys really want to see some modded 09+ 8's but with them having been out such a short time they're few and far between in texas
