I changed my rear license plate from the squarish to longish one, but there is a big gaping hole which my new license plate cannot cover. Is this normal on all RX-8s or is it just that the JDMs use square ones so the hole is there? I remember MM ones have long license plate and don't remember that hole there.

I've searched the forum and there was a thread which says the hole is for the license plate lights, but my license plate light is already in place and I still have this huge hole to cover. Am I missing a piece?

Its just a couple of screw holes for securing license plate frame or whatever it is you want.

For JDm model, there is a big hole behind, which explains why ur car number plates comes in 2 lines.

For mm model, there are no holes. So longish, squarish, 1 line, 2 line, all no problem.

Suggest u get a big piece of black acrylic, cover up the whole hole, and ad on ur number plate. This way u may be able to get 1 liner number plate without seeing the hole.

btw, JDM models only has 1 license plate light and holder. MM has 2.

Hmm... reminds me of the body parts story where every part thinks he's the impt one, the eyes, the ears, the brain.... until the asshole went on strike and didn't want to pass motion and the whole body went sick. In the end they voted the asshole the most important.

Good suggestion. Maybe can put reverse camera at the acrylic part. Can do at MG? :D
