The yellows are so cool, congrats! But I think light-colored cars somehow look better with lighter wheels. Can't tell from your pix, but if you haven't already, give her a full wash/wax/detailing and, no matter where you are or what cars are near you, she'll be the most noticeable car around.

Have fun!

In knew it. My only suggestion would be addressing reliability issues, make sure you are starting on fresh oil, etc.

I've found 2 ways to deal with the tail lights, some folks seal them up and others (like myself) drill tiny pinholes in the bottom to dry them out. I tried sealing mine and it just never seemed to take, I've since drilled tiny holes in a few spots at the bottom and mine never fog anymore, it's been about 2-3 years since I did that and no ill effects or problems with moisture etc.
Your car looks lowered as well, I'd be curious to know what suspension it has, might want to get the alignment checked as some folks lower their cars and never get that done afterwards which can cause problems down the road a bit.

why don't you try this first: http://www.rotaryfx.com/product_p/lig1056.htm

as for service, need to know whats your mileage before change the spark plugs, coils etc.. usually for quick service just change the oil, filter and clean the air filter too.. anyway this might help, if you really need to change https://www.rx8club.com/mazmart-88/rx8-tune-up-parts-cheap-212806/

as for cat, i wouldn't remove the cat unless it died
