i'm still up in the air on the rear and the spoiler, i'm sure i'll get them, just not next on the list. i have a ms cai on order and ms jdm b-pillars. I probably will get the MS wheels before the rear too.
I also heard the rear is a bitch to install.

It looks good. I just finished putting on the full mazdaspeed bodykit. So hopefully will have pics. It took me about 8 months to finally get the whole kit. I just waited on the forum and every once in awhile some of the vendors would have the parts at a very discounted price. I waited on the spoiler, but I finally purchased it on the forum brand new for $400. Couldn't pass that deal up.

I've got a replica MS wing and I'll be at Harry's going away BJ meet in July for sure. Until then, I won't be able to go to any meets. I've also got pics in my vbgarage that you can see if you'd like.

I should be able to DIY on the CAI i would think. I might ask one of you guys to come to my garage and have some <3 rx8 time.
And yes i did think wrong. The idea of having a rotary under warranty helped my decision too.
Cool Daisy, i'd like to see that spoiler. Did u have the oem wing before that? If so is it a

Yes, I had the OEM wing before the MS replica. The install itself is pretty easy. The hardest part was drilling the holes. The holes weren't exactly lined up with the OEM holes so we had to drill over a bit. With love, sweat and tears, Mr. Ed was able to get it installed correctly. It took a couple hours maybe. I don't plan on selling it separately so it's no biggie to me.

long story short, I got a new starter and battery in addition to new bumpers etc. (it was the infamous starter thing that happened, car iced right in the middle of them moving it while working on it, wouldn't start or nothing. Funniest thing was the guy on the phone "is there a trick to these or something? She won't start at all etc. " lol at "trick" 
edit: this added about 3-4 more days to the car, add that to the 2+ weeks of bumper nightmares and it's easy to see why I'm still w/o it, been w/o it since a week after Easter

glad to hear that you will be running again soon canary. By the way can anybody tell me how hard it is to put the mazdaspeed sideskirts on. I know it involves drilling but what kind of adhesive did you guys use to keep it holding strong, and how easy is it to take off the side appearance package. Thanks

Taking off the OEM Sides is pretty easy.
Putting the MS sides on isn't hard because they give plenty of templates... and because of the templates it does take a lot of time.
The MS Sideskirt comes with 3M adhesive.
