I saw their Carbon Fiber one on eBay for a while already but I'm not sure how would it fits.
Looks interesting.
Good luck and let us know the result.

Also be sure to not close your hood by pushing down from the very front of it on a hot day. Your hood will warp if you do because the gas struts are not easy to compress. Close it using two hands, one on the very front and the other on the middle of the hood.

perfect! i looked at the Tein ones a few days ago and i didn't think the green would look that well under the hood. its a little scary how strong the dampers are you really have to be easy when you try to close the hood. but when you open it, it works nice and slow by its self. it gives it the cleaner look, no gaps

With the Tein's there is gap with the stock hood. You wouldn't know unless you bought them, it's written on the instructions that there will be a gap with RX-8's. The top mounting hardware goes between the hood and the arm. Thats why. I a little less than 1/4 inch, I might try to mount it like you did to see if they still work.

the only mod that you have to do is cut a seal off where the damper lays down when the hood in down, that's all, its a little spot that your not going to care to much
