I'm considering tinting the windows and the rear lights on my RX-8 GT. I wish I had a rear spoiler too, but would need to find someone I trust to install it.

I was curious what kind of visual mods people like, or have considered, or even would avoid.

 

If I had a black rx8 I would for sure tint the taillights and the corner lights up front that are on the side of the bumper. If you do tint your taillights don't half *** it. Spraying a coat of niteshade on and calling it done will look like crap. Wet sanding between coats will give it a glassy look, there are nice videos on youtube for it I'm sure.

Window tint is a no brainer. I have not done it on my 8 yet but I plan to as the summers out here are horrible.

 

What's ur email I have a blaxk rx8 gt like that ill send u some pics if u want to see how it would look b4 u do the mods

 

Rear spoiler definitely, and tint. I'd recommend getting a shop to do it, depending on the shop, some can provide impressive warranties.

Also, clear side markers. Looks something like this...

Possibly even the GT aero kit.

 

tints
jdm sides
sideskirts
check out rear lip spoiler looks hotness.
lowering springs
puddle lights is a nice touch
No stickers please lol
I would not tint my taillights. My 2 cents
I just got yellow fog light bulbs. ( i also have a brilliant black 8)
And the list goes on.......

 

I suppose one could get clear corners, and black them out as well. Planning to do something like that soon.

 

Clear corners or smoked corners and tinted windows for sure.

Bit pricey those 2. But nice items for sure.

 

The wing is pricey because its completely functional. Its not only adjustable it has strength built in to withstand the heavy forces. A cheap CF functional wing will break under that kind of stress. This one allows you to adjust it down for highway driving to reduce the load, but when you hit the autox it will allow you to adjust the angle back up to create more grip. give and take man.

 

My first choice for visual modification would be lowering the car. The rest will be just add-ons...like rims, body kit, spoiler, etc.

 

Check the for sale section in your area, you may get lucky and find a used hood for ~$400ish. I know most of the seibon cf hoods I see on here are around 400. You could also get that one new for $639 but then you gotta pay shipping. http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/s...10-p-8010.html
