Hey there... it's been a while. I've been trying to save my money up for an RX-8. I was really excited about the 2009 model, until I seen the pictures and read up on everything I could about the changes. Most of the changes I don't like are cosmetic.

So that brings up my question.

Is there any way to convert a 2009+(I assume they're making the 09 chassis the look for a while) to a 2003-2008 model?
- Gills
- Taillights
- Steering Wheel

 

Its a little more than that, headlights, fr fenders, fr and rear bumpers, the entire dash, the gauges, the seats, it would be more economical(much more) to find a used '03-'08. Im sure it wouldnt be hard with alot of people out there trying to dump their low mpg cars....

 

"performanse modifications" sounds like you want to change the way the car looks. hmmm... where would I post that

 

lol okaaay...why dont you just buy an older model then? Lmao.

 

slightly better engine in the 09.

 

I like everything about the 09 besides the look. Albeit, it's really the -only- thing I know of cars. I don't know the performance differences, mpg, etc between the two models.

One thing I really like about the 09, is the navigation display and where it's located.

 

how about buying a pre-2009 model and getting a new updated engine with al lthe changes and dropping that in it

 

^ thats retarded

anyways, I don't know about the back end, I kinda like it

but I'm sure you can get the front end bumper of the older models

 

fail. buy an 04-08

 

Better yet, wait a few months and pick up a leftover new 08. They will heavily discount it when the 09's are more widely available.

 

I did the same at the end of calendar year 2007 on a new 07. Definitely worth it
