Ah ok, but only CF, they dont have the piano black, one in piano black would be sweet, they have one at japanparts but only for japanese cars (left hand). thanks for the link.

i agree with the other guys, piano black ashtray would be really nice too.

sharkman 05-13-2008 07:15 AM

i looked at the link a little closer and the shift gate panel on that site is just a stick on over the existing one, it would be a whole lot better if it was a complete replacement instead of paying 89 bucks for a stick on.

Bring back the rear rotary light, but make it LED
Bring back the fuel cap holder
Change the Speed Racer vinyl so that the "M" on his helmet is the Mazda logo (then it's "M" Speed! for Mazdaspeed)
Make the Decepticon vinyl available in purple
Under-hood flashlight and mounted holder, nicely designed with useless wankels (for roadside repairs)
Change misleading description of your "Interior LED light set" because it doesn't have front dome lights
Front LED Headlight set with load resistors (no need to replace the high and low beams, just signals/running lights)
Nicer and cheaper oil caps
Bigger selection of sizes for rotary-style vinyls
More rotary vinyl designs and rotary-related designs
Aluminum Footrests
Knee & Arm Pads
Blank stereo deadbuttons to replace buttons I have that do nothing (minidisc, hello?)
Mazdaspeed Wheel Center Caps
Wheel Center Caps that match some more of your cool rotary vinyls

imput1234 05-25-2008 11:48 PM

If you guys made windshield washer caps, and caps for the brake fluid reservoir.
That would be awesome.

Fog light strakes
 
Fog light strakes, fog light strakes! So many people want these so why not make them? I think they would look great, we should push for this item. Can't be any harder to make then the one's on the side for the fenders.

Black out pearl emblems and not just emblems painted black with clear coat, but actual black chrome plating.

laythor 06-15-2008 04:44 PM

a mount for radar detectors that mounts next to the rear view mirror but the bracket runs up into the headliner and doesnt just get stuck on the glass.

Hi,

We expect samples of the foglight strakes at the end of this month and production should take another few months. We'll definitely let you know when they're available.

:)

05rex8 07-01-2008 09:26 PM

I have a suggestion for improving one of your products. For the cooler screens, you should include a piece of weatherstripping for the jagged cut edges for those with foglights. Looks a ton better and will also hide any cutting mistakes. :) See pic:

Kaine 07-21-2008 12:11 AM

Hi, here's a couple from me -

1) yes please bring back the rear rotary stealth light. will it be possible for it to have a dual white/red light feature for reversing/braking. also, it would be great if it could be fit with the rotary crest i got from rx8strakes.

2) door sill plate kit with led illuminated 'rx-8' text or rotary motif.

3) dunno if this is illegal anywhere but i thought it's worth a try - front rotary fog light?!

4)+ 1 for the rotary exhaust tips.

5)+ 1 for twin fog light strakes (paint matched too)

renesisking 07-21-2008 09:25 AM

how about strakes in the fog light vents in front of the oil coolers?? i saw that i think on rx8strakes.com or rotary13b1.com and i can't find them again, i thought they looked mean, also if you have any canards that fit the oem bumpers for the front and rear it would be nice.

TheWulf 07-25-2008 07:14 AM

how about an SS cap for the e-brake to match the one for the shift knob?

magikone69 07-26-2008 06:46 PM

something ive always wanted...Blacked out emblems.

id really like a set of high quality black emblems, for the M, Mazda, and RX-8, preferably a blackish/chrome look...should be easy enough guys.

oh and a full led tail light replacement would be nice preferably something similar to the 2009 rx8 with 2 led rings

"Smoked Clear Coners" basicly a set of clear corners but with a smoked tint to it, or maybe completely clear with a black trimming inside the reflectors.

variety of shift knobs, preferably unique and customized to suit the rx8

different color interior bulbs, (id like some purple/violet ones lol)

This is a very good idea. We'll see about adding it to our development pipeline.

This one keeps coming up. :) This product is currently in production, and should be released within the next month or so.
Please see earlier posts for pictures or see our product development page.

We actually have two of these items in the early stages of development, but we can't say which at this time.

sounds great, i really want any of those mods, so since you guys have 2 in development im very happy and cant wait. i hope one of which are the black emblems...thats the #1 mod i need right now:)

fannin522 07-28-2008 04:28 AM

+1 on led tail lights to match your led 3rd brake light which is awesome

heyarnold69 08-01-2008 05:00 PM

Would it be possible to get a cf version of the front grill.

Mods...

slant the top part (flat carbon fiber) on a 30 degree angle (ish) to the lower part that is simply a screen.

you could make a mold form the actual grill now and simply modify it slightly.


options to include color matched -- black, chrome, cf, red, blue ... etc...


Im sure many will be interested to have something to replace the hideous grill that is there now.

gukdoebabdoe 08-01-2008 05:19 PM

how about cf center consol panels? mine are scratched up like everyone else's and even if they werent real cf id still get them.

and some sort of cup holder so the drinks arent always hitting your elbow when you shift.

heyarnold69 08-02-2008 08:51 AM

+1 on cupholder insert :)

Blackout04RX 08-02-2008 02:32 PM

I totally agree with a cheaper option for radio install... I am beginning to loathe the mazda one.

heyarnold69 08-02-2008 06:16 PM

everyone hates the mazda one.

any possibility of doing these?

TopGear8 09-23-2008 01:11 AM

more importantly scuff free door sill scuff plates for cheap ?? or maybe a cover for them?

Nopstnz8 09-23-2008 01:25 AM

^^^ Yeah seriously. I'm going to replace my inner door sill plates since they are all scuffed from the previous owner. :banghead:

Illuminated Outer door sill plates with Rx8 writing would be awesome.

You know, both of these ideas never occurred to us. These are really great ideas. I'll make sure they get added to our possible future project list. :)

i would probably buy those if they were under $125

Fortunate Few 09-30-2008 01:09 AM

i know people with mazda3's have them.

invasion08 10-13-2008 07:51 PM

You guys should make your own console kit the mazdaspeed kit cost to much. I like the gray or black carbon fiber finish

05rex8 10-18-2008 10:22 PM

Not sure if this was already mentioned, but to go along with your headlight and taillight overlay tint, you should make some for the side markers. Then maybe put it into a complete kit. If you guys did a kit with the gunsmoke tint for the headlights, side markers, and tail lights I would buy it in a heartbeat. Also offer a kit to include the fogs. I would've gone for the fog light tint too, but I am taking off my fogs. ;)

Kaine 10-19-2008 07:18 AM

For the lower grill possibility of creating a strake to cover these circled plastic bars. Possibly in matching model colors?

I think a side repeater (turn signal) would improve safety. Since you guys like to mod the fender vents, how about this:

A side repeater that you could add to the top of the fender vent. It could follow the curve of the vent, be held on with tape, the wiring could run through the top vent holes that were covered. As low profile as possible, black housing and smoked lense so it's stealthy. LED, of course. Then when you signal you see it. Very quick photoshop attempt below:
