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.

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 *****, preferably unique and customized to suit the rx8

different color interior bulbs, (id like some purple/violet ones lol)
We actually have two of these items in the early stages of development, but we can't say which at this time.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

New Idea 11-8-08

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:
