Do you guys think putting an Efini badge on the 8 is rice or not?

:confused:

In the most technical sense, yes.

That said, I think it'd look good, and don't see any problem with it.

do you know of any more pics of this car?? I would like more pics of that mazdaspeed kit on a black 8. this is the first real one I have seen!! looks nice!! don't know if I like the badge or not. I think the regular one looks just fine to me.

Am I the only one that doesn't like the Black car as much as a stock RX-8, just a little over the top and ricey for me.

I like it on some cars, but they have to be subdued. On the RX-8 it's just too busy, the RX-8 has a lot going on as is, add a bodykit and it's sensory overload.

I like it as that is what it is called in Japan. Call it gettin' back to your roots! Where can I get a few. I wouldn't mind putting them on my car.

ok..this brings up a concern or really question I have regarding these...for those that have debadged their cars and either plan on putting Efini badges or nothing in place...do you have any pics of the HOLES left behind...the Efini badges do not use the same mounting points as the Mazda logo and I want to know if they will at least cover the holes....

I agree, the body kit breacks up the flow of the car..

also...i'm thinking it might be bordering on RICE also...

all depends on if Efini in Japan really did crank out the 8..but I don't think they did ...and if that's so...then you're looking at getting one of these with Box 6 checked.!!!!
