First thing, take your beautiful wife out for a night on the town. Then get some clear corners if you don't have them yet.

3) Garfeild tail to stick out of the trunk.
4) Strakes and Clear corners.

In that order.

Take your wife out dude..... Women will stay quiet for only so long. You gotta take them out and have "dates" every now and again. Otherwise they'll start to feel like you like your car more than them and will start getting vexed and begin developing issues with your car.

Screw the bling, go with the zing...lightweight flywheel, RX8 store has one for $250

From the reviews I hear it seems to be the best bang per buck.

Are there any stall torque converters for RX8 auto yet? If so, get that cause it would help. Otherwise, clear corners and strakes. Or maybe the x-men front kit.

If your car is black, then black strakes are pretty much useless. Anyway, there's only silver available out there. The black ones may just be custom made.
