I have placed my order for a black leather pack. Accessories include: rear spoiler, side deflector, front air dam, rear under delfector, fender strakes, rear rotary crest and aluminium feul lid. All up additional cost is $AU4,365 which is a quite a jump from the $AU67,865 drive away without any extras. I found that accessories price lists have varied significantly between dealers. The first dealer I spoke to wanted to charge me $AU2,000 more for the same items as above.   I am interested to hear from others who have added accessories and are re-considering some decisions in hindsight, now that they have taken delivery of the car.

#5 of 143 rxgreat - Price of accessories by rx8zoomster Aug 05, 2003 (11:59 am)
Are you sitting down?   The parts are overpriced, but there is only one source - Mazda. By the way, you can try to negotiate with your parts dealer (which I did) or you can find these up to 15-20% off through some of Mazda dealers online. PM me if you want to go the online route and install them yourself. I can provide you a Mazda dealer that sells at a discount online.   And don't forget to add the cost, if you want the dealer to install them for you. Advantage - those parts are covered under the full 4 yr warranty if you get them installed with your car purchase.   Here are the retail prices: Exhaust Finishers: $250 set Air Outlet Garnishes (Strakes): $250 set Scuff Plates (Door sill): $270 set   Until a third party starts producing some comparable after-factory parts, if you want to play - you got to pay.

Trussville Mazda is the only place right now to get accessories. I got the MP3 player and vent trim from them with no hassles.   http://www.trussvillemazda.com
#7 of 143 MP3 Player- Kawi by odycee Aug 16, 2003 (7:18 pm)
Kawi,   How easy/difficult to install the MP3 player by yourself?   Can you post a few pictures?

Here is a link with pictures - with step by step instructions.   http://www.rx8forum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7644   I heard it's about 1.5 - 2 hour install. I had my dealer install it, since he gave me a discount on the purchase and install, plus it would be covered for the full 4 yr. warranty.

Zoomster,   It looked too difficult for me to install.
#10 of 143 NAV? by maxius Aug 17, 2003 (7:13 pm)
Hi all before I get a RX-8 I would like to know if any of you have the DVD base NAV in your RX-8 and is it really worth getting? In other words is it worth the money in getting it? I understand you can't a play DVD in them right? It is the only option that I question. Thanks Max Replies to this message: russo1 (Apr 30, 2006 4:18 am)
