I just picked up a 2004 RX8 with 118k miles on the chassis and 10k on a mazda reman engine. Excited to start "resto-modding" this car. It runs real strong, just needs a little TLC.

 

Welcome to the asylum. Any photos of how the car is now?

 

I'll post some photos in a bit.

 

Welcome.
What color and trim?

 

It’s green mica. Not sure about the trim. It has cloth seats, no sunroof, manual transmission

• Fan Mod to lower target coolant temp 10 degrees
• New catalytic converter w/ under 10k miles
• Upgraded starter for higher cranking speed

Anyone know where I can get the roof drip molding?

And are there any good guides on how to replace those pieces?

 

Car is clean and has tasteful mods so far. As for the roof molding normally they are clipped in and will come off easy with a plastic clip tool, otherwise they're just double side taped on. They can bend and warp easy so whatever you do, take your time doing it. I'm sure there's a thread here or a YouTube video on how to do them.

About 70 bux from Mazda. In the diagram you can see the clips I mentioned.
