holy batman where u get that info!!!

i just did a little quick conversion and the front nose kit alone is like 1079$ us which is more expensive then ur above average kit but im assuming that "body color" means that it comes pre painted? painting costs like 300$ alone

 

Knee pad set?

 

Wow, Great Find !
Thanks a lot EastMoon-san. Sure is great to have a few of our loyal members stationed in Japan. Keep it up buddy.

Arigato !

Forgive me if these are a few $'s off here and there i was doing these w/ a pen and a napkin while on my way to a meeting earlier.

-Quick

 

that's a freakin' deal and a half for MAGNESIUM wheels...

whoa... $1100 for all four?? i don't think so (notice EM said "wheel" heh heh heh)... but, man, they sure do look good.

 

Supposively, those Japanese downhill drift racers gets their knees pretty banged up trying to stablizing themselved during all the hard turns while street racing. That's when knee pads becomes useful.

 

These are pretty normal prices for Mazdaspeed stuff.. especially when compared to FD3S parts, at least these are body colored.

 

HAHA LOL ROFLMAO:D :D

 

here's a clearer picture of the "knee pad" ...

 

East Moon, might you have seen any information on how the LED backlight shifter **** works? Does it say at all if it works off of batteries, or if it is wired into the console?

And I think the "RX-8" embedded shifter is LED driven too.

just curious. didn't mean to change the subject of the thread as the Mazdaspeed shifter looks like a rounded chunk of rubber.

I was not able to find out the information about "the LED backlight shifter **** works".

and my dealer did not have those information yet...unbelievable!
