Mainly all cosmetic mods.
In no specific order:
1. Lip Spoiler
2. Outlet Garnish
3. Exhaust Finisthers
4. Fog Lamp Set
5. B Pillar Garnish
6. Illuminated Shift ****
7. Maybe a few other interior mods
The engine mods (i.e. ECU, turbo) will definately come after the warranty period.

I have the complete Mazdaspeed exterior kit on order to be fitted to mine on arrival.
Other than that, I expect the Mazdaspeed shocks/springs and strut braces will follow soon after (unless other tuning companies bring out similar products)

VERY FIRST THING... A LOJACK SYSTEM!!
If I ever get the RX-8. I would get:
aftermarket stereo system
aftermarket rims

And after warranty, FI.
If ever get into car accident and motor survives. Throw the renesis into a FD.
