My 2nd RX-8 *Movin On Up*

Alright guys I need some help for a couple of things...please forgive me if any of these questions are answered some where else....

I Just purchased my 2nd rx-8....a 2005 white gt with 2500 miles for 21,500.00

Some of you might have seen pictures of my ti....that had a complete polk audio install with fiberglass door panels/box/etc....

Anyway...i have tried finding clear corners and stealth bulbs for the clear corners and rear of car....mazdaparts website has them removed and only one pair on ebay...that was way over priced from the last pair i bought....so help on these things would be great...

I am also going to purchase the hood in the picture below....does anyone who has this hood know how well the fitment is from this company seibon...and where I can get one for the best price...

I am also getting this front bumper and want to get a good intake that would use the opening in the bumper....but i want the best performance and for it to sound as factory as possible....i bought the k&N for my other rx-8 and it sounded like a civic when it was at high rpm's....

any help with these things would be more than greatly appreciated....thanks

I believe the revi racing beat intake sound as close to stock as possible. If you want to use that opening then you wouldn''t be running the ram air duct with it.

RotaryExtreme.com has the clear side markers w/ stealth bulbs for $80. Weapon R makes an intake that should work with the opening of the Acosta bumper...I think it's under $300. I see them on eBay all the time.

RB REVi intake sounds great. No louder than stock at low-mid rpms and up high, it still sounds stock, with just a little more throatiness to it.

RB revi sounds great, caution, you'll want the RB exhaust to go with it. Both together make the RX-8 sound and respond quite nicely

I don't remember where I found them, but I got my clear corners with stealth bulbs for $55. I think it was one of the vendors on here. It was a year and a half ago, so sorry for the memory lapse.
