Long Overdue Introduction
My name is Danny and I'm a Marine in SoCal...So I've been trolling, searching, and reading this forum since I bought my 8 a couple months back. It looked like *** crap when I got it and was too embarrassed to post it up. But now after several changes I'm ready to show off my outlaw heater..
2004, MT, with just about 50k on the clock. Here is the before:
Installed: AEM CAI, AP Midpipe, Cobb AP with custom tune. Wheels: 18 "Konig Backbones +35 offset with Nitto Neo Gen 245/40/18.
Coming Soon: MR Lowering Springs, Koni yellow shocks, Air diversion panel, Ipod connection, Front and rear sway bars.
And yah i think i need a new driverside headlamp lol
For all the new joins: Do what I did and READ. Youll learn alot...

yah im doing the ambers tomorrow or something haha
The emblems are easy! just pry om off with a paint scraper or something and be carful of your paint.. sand em up a little bit with 600-1000 grit, dust em off, and then paint whatever color you want and use an epoxy or 3m double sided tape to reapply them. I deleted the dash in rx 8 its stupid IMHO

There's a reason about our stock shifter's weight 
Get an undertray, it helps cooling and avoid front-end lift before spending other money on mods.
3M makes a cool headlight polishing kit, you may get along with just 15$ instead of a new assembly.

hmmmm. i think your going the wrong way. i think a shift **** should have some weight. thats why some people go for a weighted shift **** [usually heavier than stock] because it makes the throws much easier, especially when combined with a short shifter.

I HATE SPEEDBUMPS!
Too dark on the taillights. Is that street legal in California? When i used to live in California, one of my friend got ticketed having dark taillights on his Acura Integra. The good news is, it's just a fix-it ticket.
Like the dark emblems though

Welcome aboard and Semper Fi. Are you at 29 palms?
I would add 10mm hubcentric spacers as they would put the wheels perfectly flush for an aggressive stance after you are dropped and think about spraying the rear black pieces on the bumper to give them a fresh look.
But you have done a lot in a couple of months it is coming along nicely. Just give her a good clay bar, wax, head light treatment, and detail and you will be set.
