RE-AMEMIYA Additional RHS Oil Cooler for Mazda RX8 (Series 1, 2003-2008) RE-AMEMIYA Additional RHS Oil Cooler for Mazda RX8 (Series 1, 2003-2008)

I have the oil cooler fitted recently Jarl, with a MazdaSpeed (RHS) oil cooler Try to get the MazdaSpeed or the US, Hong Kong or Japan spare parts. I suspect they are different but what the hell it is still an oil cooler. Japan does not have oil cooler in the Type S as standard but most people will have that as option. Certainly they mostly opted for the MazdaSpeed version of the oil cooler (btw it looks the same as the other one I have now ) There are many oil cooler available as an aftermarkey option, such as HKS and Fujita engineering, just to name two. They are very pricey and go over the $1000 mark. So I choose the $600 MazdaSpeed one instead. What you need is a garage, really. I will recommend changing oil and oil filter at the same time. It does mean a cleaner job. Make sure you take care of the joints and prepare for an oil leak (did have some on my installation). The right oil cooler gets the first of the oil from the central (engine) side and they travel to the left (stock) one before going back to central. There is a bass tube (as shown in the attachement above) to connect the right to the left oil cooler. Get a quote for $300 installation since it will take someone 6 hours to do (inc changing oil). Make sure they run the car for 10 minutes before putting the front bumper back up, just to see if there are still leaks. Result is amazing, central console is not hot anymore, well... it is cooler than what it has been. Say the temp in the cup holder used to be like the upper tray of the coffee machine (the area that warms the cup). Now it is like the keyboard of your laptop, still warm but certainly the house key I put in the cup holder will not burn my finger anymore. MazdaSpeed oil cooler is race proven. In BestMotoring, people raced for 20 minutes in the heat, MazdaSpeed oil cooler has a oil temp of 100 degree cel, but the S2K and Integra are running at 130 degree plus.

Why Chrome Still Works on the RX8

Mazda RX8 chrome parts are exterior trim, lighting surrounds and reflective accents built for owners who want a polished, stand-out finish without compromising fit. Whether you’re refreshing worn originals or building toward a show-ready result, the range covers the details that make the difference. Done well, chrome detailing rewards close inspection with depth and contrast that matte or body-colour finishes simply can’t replicate, and on a car as visually expressive as the RX8, that matters.

The parts in this range are designed to fit the RX8’s specific panel and lighting geometry. That precision matters as much as the finish itself: a poorly fitted trim piece telegraphs itself immediately, while a correctly profiled chrome component looks factory-considered even on a modified car.

Lighting and Trim: Where Chrome Makes Its Biggest Impact

The most significant chrome upgrades available for the RX8 centre on the front lighting assembly. Chrome headlight housings replace the interior surfaces of the headlight unit, creating a cleaner, more reflective backdrop that pairs directly with projector retrofits, angel eye rings or demon eye setups. Rather than leaving aftermarket lighting elements floating against a dull OEM surround, a proper chrome housing ties the whole assembly together, the reflective interior amplifies the light source and gives the front end a cohesive, purposeful look.

RX8 headlight chrome trim and surrounding exterior accents extend that finish beyond the lens itself, unifying the grille area and lower fascia into a consistent visual theme. Whether you’re running a subtle single-colour scheme or building out a full angel eyes upgrade, chrome anchor points give the eye somewhere to settle.

Pairing Chrome with Lighting Upgrades

  • Angel eye rings: The contrast between a chrome housing interior and a halo ring is sharper and more defined than against a black or silver-painted surround, the chrome works as an optical backdrop, not just a cosmetic choice.
  • Demon eyes: An RX8 demon eyes upgrade benefits from the same principle: the illuminated pupil reads more vividly against a highly reflective interior housing surface.
  • Projector retrofits: Chrome reflector bowls and surrounds are standard practice in quality projector builds for good reason, they contribute to beam quality as well as appearance.

Getting the Most from a Chrome Finish

Chrome components on a car that’s driven regularly need occasional attention to stay sharp, light contamination from road grime and brake dust shows on a reflective surface in a way it doesn’t on a textured or painted part. That’s a worthwhile trade-off when the alternative is a finish that simply blends into the background. The parts here are selected for surface quality and corrosion resistance, so the upkeep is manageable and the long-term result is worth it.

If you’re building toward a specific look, show prep, a clean street build, or a lighting-focused upgrade, use the filter options above to narrow this range to the exact components your build needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of RX8 parts are available in chrome finish?

Chrome-finish parts for the RX8 typically span exterior trim, interior accents, badges, grille surrounds and smaller hardware pieces. The specific products available in chrome can be browsed in this category, covering both OEM-style replacements and aftermarket styling upgrades.

Is chrome trim on an RX8 just for looks, or does it serve a practical purpose?

For most chrome RX8 parts, the primary role is visual - adding a polished, high-contrast finish that lifts the overall presentation of the exterior or cabin. Some chrome-plated hardware also benefits from the corrosion resistance that a quality plated finish provides over bare or painted metal.

Will chrome parts hold up in Australian conditions, including coastal environments?

Chrome plating quality varies between products. In coastal or high-humidity environments, a thicker multi-layer chrome deposit resists pitting and corrosion better than thin single-layer finishes. Check individual product details for plating specification, and rinse chrome trim regularly to remove salt and road grime.

How do I care for and maintain chrome trim on my RX8?

Regular washing with a mild car shampoo and a dedicated chrome or metal polish keeps chrome trim looking its best and prevents surface oxidation. Avoid abrasive compounds or steel wool, which can scratch the plated surface. A light coat of wax or chrome protectant after polishing adds an extra barrier against moisture.

Can chrome exterior trim pieces be fitted at home, or is professional installation recommended?

Most chrome trim and accent pieces are designed for straightforward installation using clips, adhesive or existing mounting points, making them a realistic DIY job for an owner comfortable with basic detailing and trim work. Mechanical chrome parts should follow the fitment guidance specific to each product.

Do chrome parts suit both Series 1 and Series 2 RX8 models?

Fitment depends on the individual part rather than the finish. Some chrome products fit both Series 1 and Series 2 RX8 models, while others are specific to one series. Always confirm fitment details on the individual product page before purchasing.
