yuk. totally overdone.
PS - I've never seen *any* bodykit for *any* car that looks better than stock imo. I like the looks of a clean stock body car with a nice set of +1 sized alloy wheels.

This is all a matter of taste and opinion, IMO it looks real nice and there's nothing on that picture that makes it "ricey" the only thing that comes close to it is that wing, which dosen't look too bad. If the car came out like that out of the showroom it would be a 100% purchase for me, its not rice, rice= ridiculous sized wing that hurts car's performance, stickers advertising mods you *don't* have, annoying and huge coffe canned mufflers, horridious paint jobs with weird writings, neon lights, altezza lights, huge wheels that hurt 1/4 times, fake cross drilled rotors, fake badges, springs being cut to make car lower, fake gauges that don't do anything, turbo hoods on n/a cars, and i could go on forever.....a rice car is a wanna-be good performing with "mods" that hurt the car....I've seen many FD's with body kits does that make them "rice"? even if they run 9's?
Here's an FD with a "body kit", this car runs 9's but that dosen't matter since it has a "body kit" its just another ricer

My goodness-
I think that kind of kit on an RX-8 would make it a little impractical and a little silly looking- but perhaps that's just me...
And hello, to anyone that cares- I've been lurking for a while but was to chicken to post anything!

I want to second KrisA, word for word.
IMO, if I wanted a spoiler like that, I'd buy a plane.
There's a lot more to be said to having a bigger bite than bark.

What is ricey about the RX-8 at the auto shows that there is a "rice factor" to be eliminated?
No thanks to this stuff or anything like it coming standard. This car needs to target the masses, not the performance freaks. Of course if you want this stuff on your car, there is always the aftermarket.

i think that it gives the rx8 a nice aggressive stance, something that the imports need. 99% of imports dont look mean at all, mostly because they arent..but the rx8 on the other hand is going to be an extremly mean car..and i think that it should be shown
