keepin the thread alive!!! :D

It did felt peppier midrange after the install. Good intake sound with WOT but quiet with normal driving. I might consider adding the RB CAI extension later if people here get good result from it. In the mean time I removed the plastic piece below where the Fresh Air Duct extension tube sits for good air circulation.
BTW, AEM cai for the RX-8 is already available I think. Check their website.

Have my clear corners and will have the b/s put them on during the "surgery". I'm thinking of adding radar, FLIR and a couple of concealed sidewinder missles to deal with semi's in the future.

Hopefully we both attend some future rx-8 event. I would like to get a picture of both of our cars.

Finally!!
Got my Clear corners in, the accents, rear wing, tinting and clear bra. I actually like the deflector also.
Stealth type bulbs are next as the LED side markers were not so good

Howdy! I just joined the Shinka League today! By the time I got home and worked with my wife to get dinner for the kids it was too late for pictures. Bought it with appearance, spoiler, rotary and spare.
Dealer needs to clean up a few external/internal "imperfactions next week" but the kids and I LOVED the drive home. Took the misses for a ride aorund the block (several times) before I put the "batmobile" (wife's name for it) in the garage for the night.
I'm SO excitied. I'm trying to figure out where I can drive tomorrow.......
