the box it came in will not fix in a rx-8. BUT, if you take the exhaust out of the box, you can sit it in the car like the pictures.

Do you really like those floor mats? My son has them in his WRX and I think they suck. They don't remain in place very well and when they get wet they are slippery as all get out.

If they work for you, great!

Good luck with the rest of your mods!!!

KC, be carefull with those mats! They have a tendency to unbolt and fall off the car if you hit the NOS.

I like them! Because it snows alot here in K.C. and all you have to do is wipe down the mats when they are dirty! And with my interior red lights, they look even better!

BTW superfan, it's careful not carefull.

The box fits if you fold the passenger seat all the way down.. but it's a pain in the butt because it sits on the curvy part of the drivers seat back, right over the hand break, and about 2 inches away from the steering wheel.

Everything looks great KC! Its going to be a long long winter for you though. It is smart to wait on applying the body kit. You don't want to get that kit put on and then have the winter monthes beat it up.

Two questions for you. What cost did you get your exhaust for since you finally got the price you were looking for and also what did you have to spend to get that awesome sub setup?

I got the exhaust DIRT cheap! $350!! It's a long story but i typed it up somewhere in the forum.

The sub setup was very cheap since me and a buddy did the whole thing. But i did ask a local shop how much they would charge and it came out to be about 8 to 9 hundred dollars.

the side skirts are SUPER STURDY!! The front bumper is "ok" sturdy and the rear bumper is the least sturdy.

Me and a buddy of mine are going to put another layer or 2 of fiberglass on the front and rear bumper.

BTW, me and SHOWOFF will both be installing our Borla Exhaust systems tonight and will try to bring a camera out.
