Any chance for a black painted grill ... I noticed you have black painted strakes up... maybe as a set?

Brian Major 12-04-2008 11:22 PM

-CF version of the OEM front chin spoiler
-CF version of the R3 side skirts
-Padding for the armrest/center console lid
-Some kind of kit for the handbrake, similar to auto exe but something that makes the lever angle lower... like a normal car.
-Replacement buttons/ bulbs/ overlays to correct the mismatched color on the heated seat buttons

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:

Hi,

We've actually talked about this and think it's great idea. No promises, but we'll definitely be looking into it. :-)

how about the illuminated shift knob? the jdm one is expensive as heck...

Convex side view mirror glass
 
How about designing a high quality convex mirror glass to overlay over top of the existing side view mirror glas? Try as I might, I just can't get used to my mirrors all the way extended out. (I need to see the side of the car too).

I don't want to buy the cheap stick on convex mirrors but how about a FULL convex piece of mirror glass to put over top of the existing mirrors? This would eliminate all blind spots. Even with the stock mirrors all the way extended, there is a blind spot.

Just making sure..Convex is that blue glass that BMW's come with, right? I think they have this from D-Technique already... but wicked expensive. It's on Japanparts.com for like.. $160

I also second on the lighted foot sill... especially in the color of that AMG one. The nice dim blueish look. Now THAT looks hot. I hate bling..but I'd get that anyday.

J8635621 12-05-2008 04:05 PM

Convex is a brand? I was thinking he literally meant a mirror which is convex in shape.

b'Eight' 12-05-2008 05:43 PM

I was thinking convex the shape, not the name brand.

Zelse 12-05-2008 06:03 PM

...Shows what I know. lol. I thought he mean't that blue type mirror that is wider in terms of what it shows people.

papipito 12-09-2008 08:44 PM

I would like to second the SS cap over the e-brake button. I had an 04 that the silver paint bubbled, and that was a replacement from warranty issue, and I just got a 05 shinka that has the same problem. I am all about appearance. and the cap over the shifter knob really cleaned up the abuse the jackass before put on the shifter ( and much cheaper than a new shifter knob). Are two votes enough for a production run?

+1... love that look but well out of my price range

Zelse 12-10-2008 08:06 PM

^+ 85 ... I can no joke.. name 5 others..maybe more that would hop on that as well besides me.

elcolombiano91 12-10-2008 09:13 PM

+2 on the illuminated shift knob and on the lighted foot still

lokaldisruption 12-10-2008 09:37 PM

illuminated shift knob and the lighted foot still are both way legit ideas. i must add to the idea making of rx8strakes.com to possibly selling custom subwoofer boxes for the rx-8 because the boxes made elsewhere run extremely steep. And even on the cheaper side some more window decals~~ such as ones that read Rx-8 and Mazda and MazdaSpeed. Decals that are bigger and some that you can even put on the sunroof/moonroof.

what id love to see .

rotor shape exhaust tips.
more carbon fiber parts. ms fake carbon fiber ones are way to much money.

inner door handle cups made form carbon fiber can be over lay. cant find any place that sells these but seen them on ebay.

badges . color matched and carbon fiber.


for the person who complained about the heated seat buttons not being the right color,cheap fix is get red window tint and cut to size a real pain tho.

Knightsports has rotor shaped exhaust tips.. they look way too tacky, trust me. Unless you're sporting a single exhaust like them without the stock rear bumper. They have it in Titanium for $400

any chance for bumper grill thing?

u talking one that replaces that horrible black thing or that goes on top? cuz im down for one that replaces our OEM grill

Fortunate Few 01-17-2009 09:53 PM

you guys should make replacements for the silver center console strips. matching colors for the cars and cf. id get some black ones. the silver is horible and gets scratched easily.

This recent thread https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-discussion-3/test-drove-rx8-first-impressions-164648/ contains a link to a site that sells multi-contour mirrors that stick on top of your existing sideview mirrors' glass to increase the view. 38 dollars for each side.

Neckbreaker 01-18-2009 06:21 PM

instead of side marker lights, maybe a set of blanks. i never use my turn signals anyway, rather have it blacked out completely.

renesisking 01-19-2009 06:06 PM

+1 for the shift knob,
+1 for a new gril, preferebly a stock replacement w/out the blocked out holes for my racingbeat intake
+1 for the aluminum trim on the center console
+1 for the side repeater turn signal

and id really love to have a cf rear roof spoiler over the glass with vortex generators like the evos. i think it would give the cars a much nicer look personally.

cfm251 01-21-2009 02:38 AM

Don't know if its been said yet but here it goes....I know a lot of people like the clean shaved emblem look, because personally i feel the back is too cluttered. The issue is its costly to fill the holes left over from the emblems being removed. So im thinking something something like a magnetic panel or 3m to attach from tailight to tailight like in the mustang shown here.

http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forum...t-img_4324.jpg

just an idea.

J wind 01-21-2009 07:43 PM

+1 for the illuminated shift knob and the sidemarkers, although how bout a rotor shaped sidemarker? :D:
