This makes no sense!!!

Not for use with the Grill Trim Ring and Automatic Transmission vehicles.

i heard the auto's really DO have a 6-port renesis its just the other two ports are located directly under the front bumper where the appearance lip would normally go.. maybe thats the reason!!

So...people have seen auto rx8s with the appearance package? because I really want to get one and mine is auto..

I want to know for sure because the last thing I want to do is order the parts and realize I can't.

I have an AT and I used to have the appearance package, until I got my bodykit installed. Here are some pics:
