Now, now, now. Don't go getting all sensitive on us. There will be a certain amount of "nut-busting" but don't take it personally.

Search. Also, if you haven't read the rules and FAQ's, now's the time.

Basically, it gets annoying when people post the exact same questions all the time. You'd be hard pressed to find many questions that haven't been asked and answered (in detail) already.

Welcome to the club.

Clear corners and an RX-8 third brake light emblem? RX-8 plate frames? Please.

Every now and then I take a break from going faster and quicker by allowing myself a little gratuitous self-indulgence with things like a lighted shift ****, trunk tray, netting, footwell lighting and maybe some aluminum floor mats. All purchased at Trussville Mazda.

Note: There is no need to use the extra shifter boot and foam included in the kit if you know how to install the **** properly.

CRH
what are talking about CHarles?

I like the illuminated shift **** I just got a laugh because this thread was located in the 'Aftermarket Performance' section and not the 'interior, audio, electronics' section

please read b4 you get all tempermental

oh and if you plan to sell your illuminated shift **** for some reason send me a PM...I'm saving up for summer rims and Hymee's exhaust...no more cash for a new illuminated shift ****

Here is my signature again so you can remember who you are talking about :D

Alternatively, couldn't you just place a piece of tinted film on the inside of the shifter ****? Probably cheaper/safer.

thanks for the apology Charles, I harbor no hard feelings

in fact I eagerly await updates on your Axial Flow SC :D

I don't tend to outfit my cars with things such as these but I thought it would look cool along with red footwell lights, aluminum floormats, and vertical doors. My kids think that stuff is cool but I prefer the part about going fast and quick. If you are putting the exhaust and summer wheels/tires ahead of the lighted shifter, I am glad to see you have your priorities straight.

The only complaint I might have about the **** is that it is a bit too bright compared to the glow of the dash lights so I may install a resistor in-line to dim the **** a bit. You guys should see the blue glow emitted from my Dynotune nitrous and fuel pressure gauges. Looks great against both the **** and the dash. They are LCD gauges with blue back-lighting and I mounted them just to the left of the rear-view mirror.

Again, sorry for the attitude.
