This is a deck spoiler..



That's a lip spoiler.

I want the latter. I believe it's an option for RX-8s, I just can't find the bloody pictures

I hadn't noticed before the chrome around the rear fog light mount. That is begging for a light.

that's because it's an accessory under developement, currentlu available in japan only.

commonly referred to as "pissers" they shoot washer fluid onto the headlights to help keep them clean. stock on euro versions, probably not available in the states.

I don't know about the rest of the world, but here in the UK the rear fog light is standard. All cars here are required by law to have rear fog lights.

Also I appears that we will be getting the rear lip spoiler as standard as well. It appeared on the Mazda website stating that the spoiler is there to increase fuel economy.

If I were you I would complain to the dealers. I don't see why we should get the spoiler if it increases fuel economy and you guys don't.

If I have to I'll cut up a bicycle reflector and glue it into the rear fog light hole. I know its just a gimmick here in the states but that light & shape is another little distinctive touch to set this car apart from everything else on the road.
