Factory extra's....
Are the factory extra's worth it. They are a bit expensive,
Wheel mud flaps front and rear. Trunk tub and carpet cover. ect... |
I've often thought about getting the trunk tub. It would make for a flat surface back there and also give a storage spot for some small items.

Have thought about getting the plastic trunk mat and the aldehyde air filter. My fave cheap mods have been clear side markers and LED brake light bulbs. I bought the appearance pkg for my 8. Try the discount Mazda dealers on here and online. There is an Alabama dealer that offers decent discounts. |
OEM appearance parts can be a bit pricey
Check vendors and other discounted parts at online Mazda dealerships Then look at ebay. Good Luck |

I was mainly curious if for basic wheel trim the norm was to go with the factory stuff,
or if looking for another source was better. I'm new to the RX-8 and Mazda in general. Still feeling out the car. I put 300 miles on it into southern Ohio twisties over the weekend. Familiar roads in a un-familiar car. It was fun, especially after I remembered to turn off that stability management computer thing. Nothing like that on a del sol, LOL. |

It is whatever you happen to like in terms of mods. Some people like to stick to keeping it to stock or only Mazda accessories. Some owners like to put on 3rd party body kits. Look at pics and figure out what you like. It's your money. |

It sounds like you have a totally stock 8?

Exterior Appearance Forum/Section. There should be a thread on LED bulb replacements for the RX-8. It is very long and there are many pics. Most of us would recommend V-LED as the place to buy bulbs.

i got the most basic rx8 that i could. as long as you have wheel locks your fine. IMO. oh and the ipod adapter. but the one from mazda is confusing to use.
