Small mods on my yellow 8

Nothing much but fender strakes and clear corners. I still think it really makes a big diffrance tho. I seen about 5 or 6 RX-8s in my area, and it feels like mine looks very diffrent from the others that are bone stock.

looks very nice, I have wanted fenderstrakes and clear corners for the longest time!! What really sets off the 8 though is tint...That is all I have really done to my 8 and I feel like I am the only one in my town who has the windows limo'd out...Beautiful 8 all the better!!!

Something I think you should do that would make it look much better is either get rid of the front plate (enless there is a huge fine, in Cali they do not really care), or go to the DIY section and do the EVO plate relocation which I think looks spectacular! (Thanks Gamera) Link for DIY

Good lookin 8 though!!!

I do live in Cali. Monterey Park actually. I want to take off my front plates, but I didnt know if the cops out here are would give me $hit or not, or how much the fine would be if they did. Btw you should really get the fender strakes and clear corners, I think it was worth every penny, and really easy to install.

Thumbs up

Looks like my 8! ...That is to say Grrrreat! :D

I don't have my front plate on and the cops and highway patrol don't seem to care. <Knock on wood!>
I have the front mud guards too. I think they make the car look like it has complete sideskirts while giving sort-of a flaired "coke bottle shape" accent to the car. It keeps the sides clean too. :p

Another gorgeous LY, sweet! I'm getting strakes, just not sure if I'm getting aluminum or body-color. It's good to see pics to help me decide.

Looks great. I need to tint for the summer, too.

agreed...

As for the cops thing in Cali, or anywhere in fact...All I do (whether or not it will work) is I keep my plate in the center holder thing between the two back seats, and if I were to get pulled over for the plate, I would just say that I am waiting for the installation bracket from the dealer and that I have the plate ready to install in the car hopefully that will work if anythign does happen :p

Strakes....I WANT!!!! I am definitely in need of some strakes, I would go along with the aluminum looking ones, very clean on the yellow, sunlight silver, and black!
