Recently got an rx-8

Recently purchased my rx-8, and I plan on modding it, sometime in the near future Exterior and interior. Mind if I ask you guys for some suggestions? I'm not the smartest person when it comes to car stuff. So bare with me!

Try posting the direct links to the pictures on this thread. But if you want to learn about what mods are good, and what people like. Just use the search button, you will learn ALOT from this site.

But I didnt take the time to actually sign up for something, so now, it works

Thanks guys.

In the long run, i plan on modding the body of the car. But to begin with I'ma take it slow, and do minor stuff, I'm all ears.

Currently my budget is fairly low. But i'll be bringing in more come november. Then is when i plan on doing some major changes. I'd like to have a game plan however.

^^Nuke is right. BB is the best color!!

As for mods...I started with some black wheels. IMO black wheels look the best on Black 8's. Then i got some clear corners, sway bars, and just recently got an exhaust. I am soon going to buy the MazdaSpeed body kit, as well as the Seibon TS hood.

Modding is an addiction, once you get one thing, it never stops!

Lol, I like the "I'ma" with an apostrophe in it. It does NOT make it grammatically correct...hehe. GL on the modding!

get rims, struts, shocks, tints. that should be good for awhile.

i like:
rims: enkei, volks, work, tenzo
struts: mazdaspeed or dont change (or get a full coilover kit like tein basics)
shocks: eibach, sprint, tein, mazdaspeed, racing beat

any tint shop.

when you have more money, a body kit is nice too. im a big fan of the ings+1, mazdaspeed, and buddy club kits.
