just put in my IPT cover..
Just got my IPT engine cover from rx8garage. Finally, my engine by is almost complete. Just need to get a radiator shroud and I'll be done.. oh yeah, and Racing Beat has to release their g'damn intake.. so I can get a cover made for that too..
Anyhow, here are some more pics of my engine bay decked out in carbon fiber.

Looks nice, but personally I don't get mod's like that. Keep in mind I have never messed around modding a car YET, but to me that's just a waste of me.
TO ME, it looks nice and congrats making your 8 look nicer, but the car looks good already so if it WAS ME I would mod performance, weight saving, suspension...way before messing with the looks of the car.
Again, it looks nice and congrats...just my two cents...(maybe if I had MO MONEY I would do stuff like that...LOL)

RX8 and a Truk....
Very slick - I Was toying around with the idea of repainting my cover body-colour, minus a few areas of black/shiny...but that CF cover looks really good, and saves me the trouble.
I can't find it on their page; is it not up on their site yet, or am I a dummy?

If there is sufficient airspace between the cover and the brace, then this is a perfect solution for those who want the MS bar and keep the engine cover as well.

Also, I put a small peice of electrical tape just on top of the MS strut bar while the IPT cover is there (Thanks Polak for mentioning that to me a while back). That way it doesn't scratch the strut bar.
