Depends , as i dont have much money , id get small mods. Things like , clear corners , headlight eyebrows , new color bulbs (all the bulbs) etc. Get axialflow shortshifter if u want. Whenever i get a new vehicle my first mod is ALWAYS a new exhaust.

Depends on what you value. For my sports cars I'm 100% performance oriented so anything that has to do with appearance is out and I'm generally very braking and handling oriented.

2)Alignment and corner balanced with you sitting in the car.
2)Axxess Ultimate or Hawk brake pads + ATE superblue DOT4 brake fluid
3)Racing Beat Aluminum flywheel
4)HarrisonRnD scantool, or Hymee Scanalyser
5)weekend high performance driving school and some track days
6)Stock or MS spoiler
7)Petitt Supercharger FTW!!

I've seen that picture before, or at least the same location.
I would sell it and get an Evo, then you can be best friends with IKE.
You can still cruise the board and harrass people because your car out does an 8, and the purchase of the EVO was the best Mod you ever made.

What next ?
Handle bar streamers...Racoon tail on the antenna....a playing card on the spokes to make it sound cool...and double wire baskets on the rear....a Bell...would be cool !
BUT leave the black pillar because it blends with the dark windows and doesn't break the lines and make it look like a sedan..and lose the chrome door handles .....theres a method to Mazda's madness...understated is classy...ain't no chrome handles on a Ferrari or Aston Martin.
Leave it alone , it looks fine...just drive it and enjoy it...save your money for gas when it hits $5. a gallon this summer you'll need it !

what about the spoiler, how does that come off?
the thing is i was thinking earlier, if i had bought this car brand new these arent the changes i would have made.....this is how someone else wanted their rx8 to look, not me, so im going to make the changes

You can remove your spoiler, but you will have holes in your trunk. A good bodyshop will be able to cover it up.
