It will fit, except that the american Spec RX-8 comes with a 6 speed so the icon on the top won;t be right.

Icemark, are you saying that the JDM RX-8 was a 5 speed? I didn't know that there was a difference in them? Just curious.

"Jap version, not JDM"

WTF? Maybe you don't understand what JDM means?

USDM would be the version of the RX8 sold here. JDM would be the version of the car sold in Japan.

Japan, Aus/NZ, and Europe all got the 5 speed on the lower end models.

And the cool thing about the 5 speed **** is that it is luminated at night.

But I have a 6 speed RX-8 **** in my vert. It fits my hand perfect. Picked it up at 7 stock last year for only $20

I have a couple of friends that are stationed in Japan and I could probably have them source the JDM shift ***** if anyone is interested. Just PM me if you want one and I'll see what I can do.

The last group buy on the illuminated 5-speed shifters was about $185 shipped...

I looked for it on CorkSport's site but didn't see it.

For $99.95 rx7.com has 5-speed rx8 *****.

http://rx7.com/store/rx7/RX8Knob5spd.html

Doesn't say if its illuminated though. But I think all 5spd rx8 ***** are. Can someone confirm this?

Zach could you get these cheaper?

I'll know prices after I hear back from my friend who's over there. I should be able to beat those prices though.

Rob, who don't I know? That's a good question. I think that I have contacts just about everywhere.
