Aero package?

Does any one have a pic of the optional aero package mazda is offering. I've looked every where and can't find a confirmed image.

Apearance packages?

Hi, I was wondering if there are more than just the side skirt and rear splash guard? I thought I seen somewhere that there was a front splash guard? If so, can someone post a picture of this front splash guard. Also, any other pics with great looking add-on features are welcome!

Thanks.

Appearance Pkg.

I know a lot of you ordered the appearance package, but I am wondering anyone getting the package but without the rear wing (either not like it or waiting to get one such as the lip or the MS one)?

do you mean the stupid wing, or the cool spoiler??

i'd get the spoiler, but i like the MS wing way way better than the silly Genuine factory unit.

Yes I am getting the appearance package without the rear wing. To clarify, they are two seperate items.

His location is "West Coast" so I don't know if he is talking about California or Australia.. I think the Aussie's get the lip spoiler defacto...

Sorry guys.. my bad.. just corrected it

I am thinking about getting the appearance pkg. (before the car leaves port), but deciding whether to go for the arch wing or a MS style wing.

Go with what you really want, asking opinions on subjective stuff like that never gets anywhere. You know wakeech's response, did that readlly help, probably not. :D

Of all the spoilers available, I think the Euro styled one is the best.

can you hook me up with a link to the euro one? Don't think I've ever seen it...



Anyway, I'm wondering the same thing with the hoop vs MS wing. Still undecided.

Appearance Package Question

I just bought my 8 and it didn't have the appearance package on it, but the dealer said that they could install it for me no problem. So I bought it with the appearance package added in. Now the dealership is telling me that the parts may not be available for them to order for quite some time. Does anyone know if this is the case? Has anyone bought an 8 and had the appearance package added? The dealer is supposed to try to find out from Mazda tomorrow. Hopefully it will be good news.

Don't listen to grumpy, above.

I just added the Appearance package as a port option, and I'm expecting it to take a bit longer than it would if it didn't have it- but I haven't heard anything about it being backordered. But who knows- at this point, anything is possible. Be glad you've at least got your car! I ordered Feb 1st, somehow got bumped into the 3rd allocation (supposedly) and god only knows when it'll get here now.

It looks bad a$$. I'm so glad that I had that put on mine. I parked my RX-8 next to one of the dealer allocated RX-8s that didn't have it and mine looks really mean. Worth the wait IMHO.

Thanks for the opinions guys.
My dealership is now saying it will be about 6wks which I think translates to mean they have absolutely no idea when they can get it. I guess I'll just try to be patient.

What color is your car TracyP? I've seen the appearance package on all colors except Nordic Green and Winning Blue... The package looks great on light colors and dark colors. You won't regret getting the appearance package.

Yeah, you'll definitely love it. :D That color was the first I saw the appearance package on and I'm starting to forget how good the car still looks without it. Can't go wrong either way.

Question Self Installed Appearance Package?

I think I made a big mistake not ording the appearance package.
Trussville is selling the individual pieces at a reduced cost and I was thinking of ordering them. Has anyone installed the flares or air dam themselves? How difficult of a job was it?
