Maybe Racing Beat's intake instead. Rotary Extreme's appears to get mixed reviews from owners on this site. I'm not sure if RB's will be available in time for that.

I'm not too big on the aftermarket fuel doors either.

A turbo kit will replace the intake system you're buying now. Spend money on suspension or the exhaust system if you're thinking about a turbo.

How much do you want to spend?
What made your mum buy the 8?
Is she into style or performance?

I doubt she would have any difficulty finding one whilst driving the 8. LOL :D
