The "What Have You Done To Your '8" Thread

I've had my '8 for 2 months and 2000 miles now, and have probably gone a little overboard in dressing it up, both mechanically and cosmetically. Just wondering what others have done. I'll start with my Pearl White '05, in order of purchase and/or installation:

1) K&N (drop-in) air filter
2) Clear corner lenses
3) PIAA Xtreme Force high- and low-beam headlights
4) PIAA Stealth corner lamps and turn signal lamps
5) PIAA wiper blades
6) Lineage grounding kit
7) Door edge protectors
8) Kenwood Excelon front and rear speakers (non-Bose factory system)
9) Mazdaspeed rear strut brace
10) Mazdaspeed front strut brace
11) Replaced tranny and differential oil with Red Line synthetic
12) Blue footwell lighting
13) Front and rear mudflaps/splashguards
14) Richard Paul (AxialFlow) shifter
15) Mazda trunk organizer (w/cover)
16) Racing Beat spark plug wires
17) Third brake light "RX-8" decal
18) Rotor-shaped valve stem caps
19) "RX-8" license plate frame

That's it.....for now. I'll probably think of 4 or 5 more things once I hit "post" on this. :D
