I must be the only guy with a winning blue RX-8 that is a 6 speed, but without any exterior options (or options besides the sports package). I ain't got no rear wing. :-P
Anyways- I am dreading the first snow here in east Tennessee. I can't justify snow tires for wath will probably be just a handful of days with snow covered roads. But still.. I may just saty home and read a good book (- iow- play video games while drinking). You got to tell your boss a good story. ;-)

BRealistic, get some all season tires. Thats what i did, they work terrific in the summer and work fairly well (good enough) in the winter snow and ice. I don't have to worry about the seasons and my tires anymore!
Btw, Car and Driver just tested a bunch of tires based on wet/dry traction, I don't have the link but it might come in handy for you to get a copy of it this month

Sure- I will consider that when I buy new tires. But I only got 8k miles on mine now- and they have /at least\ another 8k miles left on them (even with my stupid driving). Until then- changing tires would be a waste of monkey.

I have no exterior options on my 8, same as you, sport package and no spoiler. I recently got as a gift the front mudflaps and then I bought the rear mudflaps. I think they look nice, plus nicer for the car and the people behind me. Nothing else otherwise.
I do want to get a spoiler, but I am not sure which one (OEM or Mazdaspeed). I will probably hold off for a while.
