S2's are ugly.
Am i the only one who thinks the second gen rx8's are hideous? Mainly it's just the front bumper i guess. It just looks too retardily happy.

The sides and wheels are nice, just that front bumper man... ruins the whole car.

It's a matter of preference.

The R3's looks sick as hell. Definitely would pick that over the S1's Grand Touring any day.

Was that similar to the process you went through when you thought about starting this thread?

I just think the s1's with the appearance package are a lot more aggressive looking.

I always thought they were ugly.
R3 rims are sexy, but the exterior(non R3)/dash/radio and steering wheel....

Both gens are sexy. If you think this is ugly you need to go buy a Mini.






My buddy Piroxide's R3. he is a wheel *****.

Nothing matches the WHP gain you get from a SARX decal

I really can't stand the smile and the black plastic going across the top of the nose, it just looks like they cheeped out right there. At least they hid it a little in the s1. Not really a fan of the headlights either... Too much chrome in them, looks cheap.

I will agree that I like the headlights of the s1's better than the s2's lol I am a big fan of the little round lights in them :-P Fog lights on the s2 pwns the s1 though, they are sharp and aggressive.

that lil plastic bit above the nose is really obvious on the genuine mazdaspeed kit and looks fine to me, i've never heard anyone complain about it.

I'd love a Spirit R S2, but they are so ******* pricey here

I'm not a fan of the series 2 myself...I wouldn't say they're hideous, but I definitely wouldn't choose one over a series 1...I don't like the front bumper or the headlights.

S1 with a Mazdaspeed kit is pretty sexy looking but still no match for the R3. However, I would take a Mazdaspeed S1 over a base model S2 all day. (purely cosmetically speaking)
