My new RX8 "Shinka" w00t

Hey all I'm new to the club, I got this beauty, an 06 with 14k and some change miles on it for 19 even. If you guys have any tips as far as mods please let me know. The few things on my list are maybe some black rims and window tint lol. I'm new to having a nice car so please excuse me if i use the wrong termanology.

Congrats on the car and welcome to the club. Sounds like a good deal. Yellow fogs would look perfect with that color...

Yea it's called the pointless road. It's just a long stretch of paved road that really dosen't go anywhere and 99.9% of the time there are no cars on it :D

BTW congrats on the car! Enjoy it!

Thumbs up

congrats!!

i bought the same car about a month ago with 8k miles for $23k. 6sp, bose 300, sirius, rotary package, spoiler, etc.

i added matching fender strakes. they look great. i recommend then. nice touch. strut bars cant hurt. i have stayed away from the cold air stuff and pulleys. not real bang for the $$$ from what i can see and some potential problems. i appreciate the car for what it is. that said, at some point i'll get lighter wheels and 245 rubber around. oh year, i added blue interior lights. the car is really together as is. ENJOY IT before you get mod crazy- or go mod crazy...

best of luck.
