long overdue...my first rx8 pics
My first 8. I bought her last June and just never had a chance to post picture.
2004 Titanium Gray, Red/Black Leather
35,223 miles - Paid $12,500 after taxes from a private party.
No winters.
Any "must have" mod recommendations? (appearance or engine)

The most popular mods are:
- Axial Flow Engineering Short Shifter. You ever notice how your stock shifter is a bit sloppy? Lots of motion, but no real input and feedback? This shifter will fix that. I just bought one too, but I've sat in one beforehand with this installed. It makes it feel literally like my old AP2 S2000 shifter - which to my knowledge has been praised as one of the best feeling shifters of all time.
- Cobb Accessport. Engine management program via OBDII Port Flash using their device. This device gives you not only a bit of power (from the tune), it can control so many other parameters including upgrading your system for forced induction.
- Midpipe or High Flow Cat. You know why this would make power right?
- Suspension. We have a beautifully handling car. Suspension upgrades make it that much better.

I was looking to get clear corners...any recommendations on where to buy them from besides ebay or is ebay where everyone tends to go?
I dont plan on dropping it. I plan on putting a short shifter in and a new exhaust on hopefully this summer. I dont really want to put a whole lot of cash into the car since i'm not planning to race it. I'm just looking to make it look and feel a little fresher but at the same time not drifting too far away from the stock look and feel.
