I previously owned a Mustang, and one of the mods I did to that was replace the front grille, which was dark plastic like the 8's, with a chrome one. The difference was dramatic, and unique, as I never saw another Mustang with that same mod. It was a complete grille replacement, galloping pony and all. I was wondering if anyone had seen anything similar for the RX-8?

 

yes , there is some posts on the forum on mods done to the grille, but its late and I'm lazy, try doing a grille search , best of luck....

 

agree with juikster... there is a mod for the grille and its late so you should search it urself... billet grille is wat its called i believe... 10 dollar mod

 

Yea I've thought about a grill replacement, everytime I see my plate stuck to the front of the car. I'm surprised no one has made, say, a carbon fiber grill replacement, and my personal choice would be to have a plate indentation there, so as to almost make the plate disappear except when viewed from the front. And some type of quick disconnect to remove the silly thing super easily.

 

I'm well aware of the $10 mod...thats not what I'm asking about...I'm talking about a total replacement of the stock plastic grille with something else.

 

Check ebay, there's usually billet grills there.

 

Check this out. Rotarenvy just pointed me to a site http://www5d.biglobe.ne.jp/~aryama with these pics

 

well i really like that lip!!! but the gril is ok.. a guess a step in a direction of what i would like. I like the idea of an indent for the plate.

 

Yeah, thats defintately interesting....not sure if I like it or not, but I think it's cool all the same.

 

nice find
I like the grill and lip

 

where do i get that grill...i painted my front grill and the rear pieces on the bottom of the rear bumper and the stock mirrors at my fathers shop in jersey. so where can i get that grill.

 

I saw this one from Leg Motorsports in Japan- you may have to scroll through the site to find it, but here is the link. I thought this looked the best.

There was a custom grille someone made at the 2003 SEMA show on a beautifully turned out RX-8, but the picture is no longer available. But boy, did that grille hit the spot- it really made the car. The builder had no plans to put it in production

 

Sorry, forgot the link:

Is it me or does that grill make the 8 look like it has buck teeth and braces...? :D Sorry, I'm not a fan. But to each his own, I guess! A- for being different!

 

i really like the grille and spoiler...price USD?

 

I think that grill is like 400 bucks if I remember right

 

that's a little pricey,it looks go though

 

what about making one of of the screen used to make oil cooler guards
