My Graduation Gift to Myself

have wanted an RX-8 since I heard the words RX rumored to return, grow up loving the RX-7

I graduated from Penn State this past May and soon as I got a job I bought my RX-8

plan on adding the Mazda Aero Kit for the time being

You already have the front and rear splash gaurds. All you need is the front dam and side flares to complete the kit. That's what I did. Do you have the base model?

nice buy, love the konigs

you can get the clear corners from pretty much anyone of the vendors, or ebay, i got mine from mazdaparts.com with the stealth bulbs, which i recommend cause you can't see them when they're not on, and yes the corners are a 5min install

I'm guessing that your degree is in computer science.

Congratulations, welcome to the club!

Ah, Penn State, I hate you!! I had a full ride scholarship to go there for football before I blew out my knee.

Congrats!

try ebay, racingbeat.com I don't know any other sites but those two places have them for decent prices. ebay having the better prices.

There's a DIY thread somewhere around here for installation, it's REALLY easy. all you need is a philups (spelling?) screwdriver.

congrats on the purchase and graduation.
