Beautiful as usual Silvernite!
Eterone, clears are easy. The first one a bit difficult but once you know what you are doing the second one is a breeze. It took me an hour and a half to do them, and I was a complete novice to any kind of mod on any car!

Installing the clears is not that hard. like rddragoness said its a very simple mod. The first one would take some time, but the second set should a breeze once you have done it once. Think my clears took about 25-30min. I had some difficulty pulling out one of the amber side markers and really took my time since it was probably my second or third mod to the car.

Thought I'd reach out and say hello. Just picked-up my Copper Red Shinka 2 weeks ago with 26k on the odometer and in near flawless condition.
The RX8 marks my 4th rotary powered ride, beginning with a 1974 RX4 coupe bought back in....gulp......1974!
Any Copper Reds here in the Hampton Roads area?
Cheers,
Bob

do you have the front mud flaps also? iIput mine on after I purchased the car.
Becides the front flaps and the clear corners it's all orig. for now.
I am working on a mock up fabrication of some expanded metal covers to protect my oil cooler. these pieces will match my front grill but hopefully can be installed w/o removing the bumper

Etorone I just did a similar little project since I had the front end off to fix up the coon damage. I'll have to post up some pictures. I recommend you take the front off to install oil cooler grills. If you do you'll see what I mean as there are some wonderful pre-existing mounting holes you can use. I'll try to get pictures up this week but it's going to be a busy one for me.

send some pic's when you can. I did "feel" the two small screw holes on the upper cutout. I was going to try to use those opngs w/o removing the bumper. my thought was to insert a slightly oversized rivit with a big enough head to grab the screen as it is inserted. nothing to loose except some of my time.
I'll try and get something up in the next day or two. Things are settling down now, between being sick and my sister getting married this past weekend things have been pretty crazy. I just need to get the card out of the camera so I can upload them.
I used some standard round head screws (careful on length that you don't go to far) and they just self tapped themselves into the urathane.
