Rims are a little too 'bling bling' for me.. don't like the spoiler either :\

I think I like the more simple and elegant regular RX-8 instead of the Mazdaspeed one.

The Mazdaspeed one is VERY sporty but I prefer something with a touch of class in it, like the RX-8 has.

The thing is, you can always do those appearance mods and body kits after you buy the car... but you start to alienate buyers a lot after you decide to release the car like a ricemobile.

That's no offense to people who like it... more power to em! But I think if Mazda wants to be smart, they'll keep the car simple with *minor* exterior additions (think 3 series and M3) on the Mazdaspeed version.

You can always add the other exterior stuff if you want to later on.. for me though, if they sold the car like that I would not buy it. However people that LIKE the way the Mazdaspeed looks would buy the RX-8 without all the 'pizzazz', and then continue to do the exterior mods themselves.

 

I think it looks great man! I'm not a big fan of the rims, but kudos on everything else! I am personally a huge fan of C-West body kits.

 

Niccce! Cool car but im not really a fan of the rims

 

I am not a fan of chrome wheels either.
When your bored try the bomex body kit from the rx-7.

 

I like the front body kit....i didn't think that any other companies could make a bodykit that looks better than Mazdaspeed......maybe i'm wrong

 

the mazdaspeed kit is absolutely beautiful, except the back...it just doesn't seem to fit. I think I agree that the original rx-8 would be my choice. I think that I'd like to complete my own aftermarket mods, especially if I could choose a kit that I liked all around.

 

That is a really high quality Photoshop. Makes me realize how lacking my PS skills are.

 

yeah i agree on the back part...tho i do see it as hard to make it look good. i'm hoping someone will make a single exhaust kit for the back end, and then body molding to match it.

it just seems wasteful to me to have 2 tips for the sake of aesthetics

 

I see you used Tom Ngo's show FD for styling wheel cues. :D

 

the back of the mazdaspeed looks the best, the front looks clean and the is sweeeeet....:D

 

I think the kit looks nice. The rims are a bit much for me but other than that mad props. Titanium seems to look better every time i see it

 

Anyone know what color the 1st picture at the very top is?

 

silver

 

Cool stuffs, man... I'm kinda "excited" when I saw the movie critics commending on the RX8 driven by Cyclop in Xmen 2.

C-West are well known for it's carbon-fiber GT-wing too......Might consider "implanting" to your design........

 

not feelin the fast and the furious paintjob the the side skirts are ugly!!! no offence but they haver to blend in with the car not stand out...ma 2 cents :D no hard feelins

 

you can post your own photochops in the new Fantasy Garage section here

 

ill leave it to the pro's
