I bet it is definately the fastest growing thread of all time for the rx8 club. Every time I look at active members, there are always around 20-30. Most threads will get this long in a couple of weeks, months, or even years. This one has only taken one day to get over 400 posts.

Exactly what I was thinking when I initially saw this.
Also think the side aero flares would look better.
I like how the dipstick is more accessable.
Wheels are nice.
Seats look excellent. I don't see why we wouldn't be getting these. Evos come with Recaro and these look like they were taylored for the car. The only thing that makes me think otherwise is the fact that it isn't using a harness instead of the normal seatbelt.
The front on the blue RX-8 is busier than it needs to be. My eyes crossed when I looked at it.
The silver has different fogs which tone it down a lot.
The MS wing looks great.

you think? i can't tell if the bottom of the headlight is higher, the top lower, or both sides squished. in other words, you'd think mazda would make it so we wouldn't have to swap out all THREE (front, headlight, and fenders). maybe just the front end -- if the headlight's bottom is the same). does that make sense?
it looks like the rear bumper would be a straight one-for-one swap though huh?

i really like the new facelift. even the mazdaspeed version looks very clean. i wouldnt mind trading in the 8 for this but i have to admit, i love my 8 and have that personal attachment with it, i wouldnt exchange it..

So far looking at the pics it doesnt do it for me unless it has some real HP and torque improvements , i wont be hitting it
I cannot believe that they have put the rear light reflectors slightly above the exhaust , knowing the amount of heat and oil burning capabilities of the rotary engine , the rear light reflectors will crack and melt specially if fitted with a bigger aftermarket exhaust .
I predict the sales of the tarted tricked up version 2 RX8 will be dismall , and Mazda will loose a lot of the rotary buyers to other brands in the next few years people will get frustrated awaiting the possibility of a 16 X ROTARY REPLACEMENT

Unfortunately, while I think the Recaro seats are VERY sweet looking, I wouldn't want them in the car because I have family / friends who are on the larger side and might not fit in the front passenger seat.
I would have zero problems driving, but I'd rather have the regular seats as I know that they'd have room to fit since the seat sides go so high up on the Recaros.
Kinda sad, would really love to have those seats but they just aren't practical enough for a DD. If the car was a dedicated track car, I could see it, but .... /sadpanda
