Jw, about the trims.

I haven't gone to any dealerships or anything like that, so...
That's why I'm asking you guys! =)

Anyways, I plan on buying a 2009/2010 RX-8, except that the "Sport" trim is all I really need. Sort of.

Is it possible to buy the "Sport" trim, and buy the spoiler and the other exteriors, like the front bumper, rear bumper etc. separately? At the dealership?

Because I don't really need a Keyless Start System, or super speakers, or anything like that. I just want the car =)...

So... Buy the "Sport" trim, yet get the "R3" trim look?

Basically, I suppose it would save me a bunch of money, although I haven't really calculated how much it would separately, I'm just wondering if this is possible.

Thanks ;D

Buy the sport trim model and go with AutoExe front and back bumpers along with purchasing R3 side skirts would be your cheapest alternative. I wouldn't even worry about trying to buy the R3 rims they are very expensive probably around 4k or so alone from Mazda. Better off getting some Advan's or Volks. Good luck on your search, test drive the car and use the "search" feature in this forum for any questions you might have.

You can always buy the sport and piece it together for yourself. In fact you'll probably save a decent amount of money doing it yourself.

Where would you guys buy the AutoExe front and rear bumper?
And how much would they be?

I'm currently going to get a 2009 RX-8 Sport Trim,
So I just want to make it look as sexy as possible, but not too much aero in it, I don't want to look like a ricer =T

Hmm pretty much plan is to get a Red or 2009 Black RX-8 Sport Trim.
Replace the front and rear bumpers with AutoEXE ( I still don't know where to get them ),
Side Skirts, And get a spoiler.

Anyone want to recommend an affordable sexy spoiler? lol

Buying the r3 front bumper and skirts would be A LOT cheaper. They come painted and fitment should be perfect from the getgo.

I plan on getting the r3 front bumper and skirts for mine when I have the funds.

I personally prefer the INGS N-Spec or the Mazdaspeed spoiler, but that's just me.

Unfortunately AutoExe is a pretty penny but is the normal price range for just about most of the aftermarket parts for the rx8. Getting the r3 front bumper and sid skirts will be cheaper but the AutoExe is not ricer one bit plus it is very sexy.. imo. You can get AutoEXE parts from www.corksport.com

Here's the link for the se-03c front bumper.
