500 $. Sorry for all the questions. Ha. Answer as many as u can. Thanks alot
The hood only translates to weight savings. It might help a little bit, but most of it's for looks.
A body kit will usually slow you down (mor surface area=more drag) unless you get a good kit that is installed CORRECTLY. If you just get some flimsy cheap-@$$ set out of a catalog, it won't do it's job, which is to simply re-direrct the air in a more efficient manner. Most kits are simply for looks, functionality second.
Performance: Get a chip, Cold air intake, turbo/supercharge/NOS.
Or even better, go buy a Corvette and foret about that RX8. The problem you are up against is the fact that you will never get tons of anything out of that car. It's already set up near it's max potential and the only real thing you can do now is turbo or twin turbo to get any real results out of it, but adding a turbo is a bee-yotch and if it gets messed up, you're out some big buck$!!!!
