RX8 stock towhooks
Im not sure if this was posted yet. But did you know that the rx8 has stock tow hooks in the trunk under the mat (2 of them). They go in the front bumper/grill part one on the left and one on the right. There is also a hole in the rear bumper for one to go also

Yep, this was covered bout 5 yrs ago when the RX-8 was released. Did you know, if you stare at the sun long enough you can burn your retinas? Why don't you try that...and get back with us.

no paperwork? That sucks! did you buy it from a dealership?
if you have a few minutes, check out www.mazdausa.com and register under the owner's section. (have your VIN # handy). You can download a PDF version of your owner's manual. That little guy comes in quite handy

Zoom Zoom....
Just to remind everyone that these are not designed to tow your car with....
CAREFUL!!!!
Shaunv is right about the location of the hook / hole. However, it is NOT A TOW HOOK, it is a tie-down bolt. (there is also one at the back bumper).
PLEASE don't anyone try to un-stuck (if that's a word, lol) your car from snow/mud/sand by pulling on this hook. IT IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH / or designed for this purpose.
Shaun, sorry for mildly crapping - my intent is only to inform
