This just in from Mazda
Concerning the accessories:
I am still awaiting the answers to most of your questions. In the
meantime, I would like to give you an update on what information I was
able to gather. The Rotary Accent Package contains a front and rear
polished rotary accent. The front accent is located below the front
bumper, in the front air dam. The rear accent is located below the rear
bumper. I've seen pictures of this - and I totally like it!
Also, the Genuine Mazda Foglight Accessory is offered in three light
choices: white, blue, and multi-colored. These are compatible with most
packages (I am still awaiting final compatibility confirmation with the
Appearance Package). They are also available as dealer-installed
accessories. The standard package foglights are offered only in white
light.
I have also included an attachment that gives detailed pictures of the
RX-8 Accessories. Hopefully this will help!
I do have pictures of a fully loaded RX-8 (that show the Rotary Accent
Package) that I'd be happy to mail you. Just let me know if you're
interested, and I'll pop copies in the mail for you.
----
I've just received the answers to your remaining accessory questions.
The Appearance Package consists of a front air dam, side aero flares,
and a rear aero flare.
The Spare Tire Kit consists of a space saver (donut) tire, and a
mounting bracket & cover.
As for details on the 6-disc CD changer, it does not play MP3's. It is
only audio CD.
----
They sent me a .pdf with some high-resolution pictures of the following items: (I don't think I can upload a .pdf to the forum, so if anyone wants to convert this .pdf to .jpg format and post it, let me know and I'll e-mail it to you)
2AP - Front Air Dam
2AP - Side Aero Flare
2AP - Rear Aero Flare
MGB - Front Splash Guard
MGB - Rear Splash Guard
MND - Moonroof wind deflector
RSW - Rear wing spoiler
2RP - Polished Front Rotary Accessory
2RP - Polished Rear Rotary Accessory
CGN - Cargo Net
STR - Spare Tire Kit
CAS - Cassette Player
CDC - In-Dash 6-Disc CD Changer
As it says it accepts .zip files, I'll try to upload it.... oh well, it's 150K and it says it's too large.

Yup the deflector is FuuuuglY!
If you havent seen it in another post.. Here's what Mazda said about the 6CD and MP3 Player..

You can not have MP3 player and the 6-CD player at same time. You would have to choose one or the other. The 6-CD player can only play audio CDs and the MP3 player can play MP3 files and audio CDs.
The estimate Manufacture Suggested Retail Price for the 6-CD changer is approximately $530 and for the MP3 player is approximately $350. Please keep in mind that this is only estimated MSRP price. The official price has not been determined and the estimate price may change.

Keep the wind-deflector and the cassette player, but I want EVERYTHING else!!! :D
You should be able to add these after you take delivery of the car, right? I'll probably get the CD player put in up front, but I'll have to set some money aside for everything else. You think they'll charge extra for adding it after the purchase?

Concerning the Foglight accessory:
From MazdaNA:
To clarify the Grand Touring Package lights, the headlights are Xenon;
and the foglights are not, they're white. The Multi-colored lights are
a mixture of colors. Official pictures and pricing have not been
released yet. I've only seen pictures of the Multi-colored lights - and
the best descriptive word is iridium, or a kaleidoscope with
yellow/blue/purple shading.
The Foglight Accessory will be available as a dealer-installed
accessory once the vehicle actually launches, closer to June.
PS: At this time, a Mini-Disc player accessory will be available as soon as the RX-8 is fully launched. We do not have pricing or further details.

So how do we go about ordering these goodies? Online, Call from dealer, or just drive out to dealer and check off what you want. Maybe I'll just fly out to the port, install it, and drive the car back:D

I was wondering about the spare tire kit that mazda is charging $395 for. So saying if we do not get this option we don't get a spare tire at all? That's kind of ridiculous in a way. Also while reading this post I don't remember them saying anything about a Jack and tools with this kit.
Do any of you have pictures of the Rotary Accent Package we could see?
After reading this 5 page thread I was wondering about the seats, does anyone know if the cloth seats feel like Recaro suede material, and such as the ones in the new Civic Si?

I have been told by our Product Development department that we will not be offering OZ wheels. To answer the question about the offset for the 16" and 18" wheels, it is 50mm for both wheels.

How much do you think the strakes will cost? It better be under $50 because it is just 4 little plastic pieces. I cant believe the price of the rotary accent. $190 for the rotor shape to become silver colored?? That seems like so much bs. It looks great but the price is just too crazy considering the spoiler is only $350.
