Looking for assistance in locating items
Hey there guys\gals
I'm having problems locating a few accessories and I hope someone reading have seen them advertised.
Here are the items I'm going to be looking for.
Additional Rotary brake light that fits where the rear Rotary Accent goes.
{I searched the net with no success, Any suggestions?}
Heres a thread with the brake light. https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/what-wing-120336/
Stainless front grille similar to this photo:

Thanks a million for your help

Thanks StealthTL & sauceyI986, for pointing me in the right direction.
From what I've been able to find out the Derwankel Rear Fog Lamp, is not being sold anymore The group-buy here at RX8Club for <$100 is long gone. I did find the {JDM RX-8 Rear Fog Lamp $392.00 USD} OUCH!!!!!
I also found a DIY by Otto on another forum, which gave me the idea of making one myself using the rear accent as the foundation {Much cheaper } and since its going to be made as part of the accent it will fit without a problem.
********************************************
Here's what Otto did: {Gotta give the man his props}
The 4th brake light is home made.
Ingredients:
1 Truck brake lens cut and shaped to fit
1 Mono-filament bulb, clip in light socket (spring clips)
1 21 watt mono-filament bulb
1 earth and power wire
a couple of inches of heat shrink insulation tubing
Black silastic sealant
Material costs $23-4
Time to install (completed) about 2 hours
If the bulb blows, replacement is easy as the light fitting just clips out of the bumper.
********************************************
So if anyone knows of anyone selling the rear rotary fog lamp at a reasonable price, please let me know. Until then, I'm going to start planning and figure out how I'm going to fit the parts to the accent and make it in a way that it becomes a single unit.
Later guys
