I just got my RX8 and I also ordered by aero flares(rear and side) and front air dam too. I bought them from mazdagear.com for around 900 bucks, just in case you wonder how much I paid for it.

Anyone know where should I take for installation in Houston? I called the dealers. They quoted me for about $500 for installation. That's too much. Thanks in advance. : )

DYI is the best way. If you are a klutz with tools try some body shops and/or coustom car shops.

u paid alot of money i bought the front airdam,front splash guards,side aero,and rear splashguard brand new for less than $ 350

risky business

i agree with you. he paid a lot.
i got the front and rear splash guards for $70
i got the side aero flares for $100
just got a new bumper instead of front air dam $550

Thanks Guys I've already paid for it. I looked it up on ebay too. They don't have my color. Mine is the crystal white (not the normal white). I saw they were pretty cheap on ebay too.

Thanks for searching. Its pretty straight forward, there are X's on the inside of the bumper where you will need to drill for the installation of the AP lip. Just search the DIY section.

Here is how to remove the bumper. Mute the lame music.



Also, the factory service manual.
