Budgeted all of this stuff when I decided to get the RX8, wanted to option it out to suit me better. It's still way less expensive then my last ride and way better...
Besides it only money...

I just don't understand why they would make a piece like that and then not offer it as an option on cars in the US. Why not? Seems like free money for them with very little extra cost, given that they've already made the damned things.

Marketing is a pain most of the time at work, so I usually blame them for everything along with the slow to respond IT department.

On a note more related to this thread, how easy is the install? Looks great.

Received my illuminated shift **** last night and installed it today. 2 pictures to follow; I wish they would come out better but suffice it to say I am incredibly pleased!!
This is the thread where I found out about the group buy: https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...uminated+shift I've never so much as changed a spark plug in a car - honest. And this really was a decently simple installation; I just took my time.

Finally got around to installing mine today. I'll spare you the pics as they look just like the other black ones that have been posted. But I do have one comment:
DANG, this thing is BRIGHT. Hope it won't be too distracting at night! Any of you who have had these installed for a while now care to comment if it is or is not?
