What do you guys want to see made?
Hello all, I am going to be participating in protype testing and fabrication for the RX8. I am curious to see what kinds of ideas and products you want to see made first. I know exhaust and suspension and all the normal stuff, but what else? Body kits? Custom parts? Let me know if there is anything you fellow RX-8er's want. I have a lot of connections in Japan and will be willing to import parts and supply NEW JDM parts for everyone.

I'll also throw my vote in for the lip spoiler provided it's CHEAP and paint matched. It really shouldn't cost more than $100 or so, maybe $150 with the paint intact. There should be 3M tape and no screwing required into the car.
Oh, and a biggie for me... clear sidemarkers. That's my one luxury item

Cuz i was planning on gettin a body kits and rim before modifying anything else for my car.

Strakes...
I would be interested in a set of 'strakes' and if they are not OEM, why not make them just a touch larger? I find the Mazda ones a bit conservative......
Obviously, looking for a 'chip' setup to maximize power.....
Fo' sho' the clear sidemarkers.......
Probably could make room in the budget for the rotor start button, if it came in at less than the $170+ Mazda bits.....
That's my wishlist!
Thanks for trying to round up some deals for us!

Well my friend leaves for Japan on Friday I will have him pic up some samples and bring them back and see if we can make them more afforadable. As you all know the car has already hit the streets in Japan so parts should be more avaliable. Keep the ideas comming!

Zoom49 are you sure about that related thing? i do have family in Cali and i think StealthTL got it right! i had the same thought last night, a little longer on the strakes would be a good thing!

hmmm... turbo kit huh...? how about ECU, IC, manifold, ect... will it all be included?? pricey i would guess??
The MS mirrors are very nice... but i dont think it would look balanced without the whole kit or a body kit!?! how about the original mirror wiv the fabricated turn signals?? that one is nice as well...
keep us updated k... :D
all in all, it all depends on the price...

Analog Speedometer
Solid color side mirrors
[joke]
18' tall CB Radio antenna
lil bottle of squirty stuff to shoot stuff out the side of front wheel well like in 2F2F
Vinyl 3d sticker to look like z3 gills
Vinyl sticker hoodpins (real hoodpins cost too much)
800lbs of super combat extreme bodykit so it looks like some sci-fi car out of an 80's movie
and last but not least, dry-fire side-mounted breakaway booster rockets like the space shuttle uses to launch.
[/joke]
