the rear bumper is standard in Europe we do not get TPMS as a standard fit and you cannot have it fitted as an optional extra TPMS will not be a requirement until 2014 as a standard fit to all cars
the lower black panels house led brake lights plus i have a hide way detachable tow hook as some time i tow a small box trailer
the rear exhaust is by racing beat
the front end side skirts are by a German supplier ATH hinsberger www.ath-hinsberger.com click on this then on Mazda Rx8 then you find all sorts of goodies click on the English flag for prices you will have to work out how much is the conversion rate is there not cheep
the mirror are just covers with leds fitted with amber leds for turn signaling thay come from japparts.com

yes mud flaps need all the protection you can get in winter so this is part of the set up, along with as different nose cone/old chipped bonnet and winter wheels as thay put more salt on our roads than in the red sea!

thanks i agree i do not like the mud flaps but thay do the job. i have moved the L.E.D,s up and under the ridge line of the bumper i also have put two 52mm ducts one each side of the lower L/hand & R/hand lower panels that connect just under the air filter for the supper charger so this now only gets clean air and not take air from the back of the inter-coolers and radiators,s this has brought the temp of the supercharger coolant down quite significantly

this is my most pracitcal mod
some pictures of what i consider the most practical mod i have done
after all when this happens you need one of these
so :-
had to go the the garden center to day for her in doors, she needed some bits, so we took the rex, 6 bags of 10mm slate, 4 bags 20mm slate, 2 bags of bark chippings, 4 bags of compost, 4 grow bags, and a few bedding plants
http://s373.photobucket.com/albums/o...view=slideshow <---------- click on slide show for more
as the trailer can be dismantled and stored up right in the garage and you can still park you rex in as well
