But after seeing this, I don't.

It's too elegant to throw something on the back at all! I don't think I'm too keen on that fog light either.

Mind you, I think the lip spoiler looks okay on other colors... just not black like I'm getting.

Just the chrome accents for me, thanks :)

are you saying that you don't like the wat that car looks with a lip spoiler? 'cause i think i see one.

yeah, that is a spoiler on that boot lid in that picture... (that that that... man, i'm on crack today)

anyways, i think Herc is saying "i don't like this stuff on black", 'cause there's the fog light, and he's sayin' he don't want that either... so, what's the deal big guy??

We've no choice over here!

This one looks better

It's so low you'll hardly notice the rear fog light and I think the lip spoiler looks good. I'm far more concerned about the headlight washers which detract from the front end in my opinion.

yeah i dont like the lip spoiler at all :l

Herc,

I agree with you. I think the black color, along with the green looks classier than the other "sporty" colors (red, yellow, silver and blue). They look better without the spoiler.

Honestly I like the lip spoiler. I plan on getting it.

Are you planning on getting the chrome exhaust finishers? I'm going to get them on my red. I know they'll look even better with the black.

i love the lip spoilers, looks dope imo

Spoilers take away from some cars IMHO, the RX-8 looks beautiful w/o it especially in darker colours.

Are you planning on getting the chrome exhaust finishers? I'm going to get them on my red. I know they'll look even better with the black. Haven't decided. Right now what's on my list of addons:

Interior red accents for:
Handbrake
Front Console
Rear Console

And then I'm going to get the rotary polished emblems for front and back.

I have $500 college rebate on the car (we'll know for sure on June 3rd), so I will take that money and use it towards upgrades instead of just cutting out the price of the car. I don't know the price of the exhaust finisher but if I can do it without too much addon price, then I might just. It's pretty sleek looking and will set my car apart.

I think that the car looks *great* with the lip spoiler however I feel that with a black car.. it does take away from the 'class' I feel that color is exuding. Thus, I'm not going to get the lip spoiler any longer because I've looked at countless pictures and I don't think it will look as nice.

Nice to get the choice when it comes to the spoilers

UK spec cars get the lip spoiler as a standard fitment,

I'm a little tempted by the larger full spoiler I've seem in some of these forums, I know the wing on my MX-6 makes it a breeze to aim the back end into even the tightest parking spaces.

I only hope that it looks a little better in the metal, I've ordered a black finish but there seem to be few really good studio shots.

(maybe it's just me but I really struggle to park some modern cars. BMW 3 series without the park distance sensor anyone ? I can't see past the parcel shelf)

i dont think you have to worry about that rear rotor light, i don't think the US will get it.

hey we have to have that fitted too.

To each his (or her) own. I'm getting black and if it's available, I'll get the lip spoiler. I personally don't really care for extra chrome accents, but if I see it on any RX-8 I think it'll be cool. It's nice to be able to individualize your car in the way that you want.

I was trying to decide between the regular wing and an aftermarket lip like this one. After seeing this pic the lip spoiler is out...

I like the comment about using the wing to help with parking (reversing), but is it too Uncle Ben? Or should I just leave the car butt-naked.
