Why are you going to pay all that money for basically a body kit? It may be better, but it's still 90% the same..

I could think of better ways to make myself happy than spend $30k on a car I already own.

^Well then you probably shouldn't get one.

But if getting a gleaming, spanking new, fully-evolved-with-the-benefit-of-over five-years-of-refinement, not-yet-compromised/cheapened/tacky steering wheel, fabulous, original design RX-8 makes him happy, then it does.

Sounds pretty good to me, too.

I didn't have my phone with me so unfortunately no pics. Sadly, though they wouldn't be too nice anyway since it was left outside and ice/snow covered.

That's a fancy way of saying it got a stut tower brace and new fenders.

If that makes him happy, ok. It makes me happy to question his sanity.
