I refuse to do the math on this, it'll be depressing.

zach legend: yup, I came to that realization this weekend. I think I am completely done with N/A mods. Nothin' left to buy.

nicely done Zumn, looks like you actually looked at my garage.
Advans + tires were more then $3k.
also, you forgot the suspension mods.

your $ per post is probably pretty close though.

Sorry for the triple posting but .... now I came to realized and Jedi came across a point... All mods done....nothing else to buy, After the 8's become old news what new FORUM/CAR/ADDICTION are we gonna move on to? ? If I can Ill get an RX3 and go old school with new school mix, like throwing in a FI (fuel injection) rotary turbo (RENESIS), RX8 seats, RX8 Gauges/Computer, pretty much swap all the crap in my 8 to my RX3...

just got my rx8 for about half an year and spent around 200 for clear corners and afe short shifter. Sucks that being a college student, budget is always tight and cant afford the mods I want!

On a side note: whats the lowest price you guys have found for the mazdaspeed spoiler?

i think ive seen around $400 on a few authentic. just keep checking the for sale section. I would defiantly get the real thing too. I can imagine a replica with "good" fitment would look horrid.
