If you're referring to my post, yes the cars do look the same. I bought one as close as I could to the one I bought originally. My current 8 is a manual transmission base model. I added the rear spoiler, fog lights, oem accessory center caps, and front and rear rotor accents. These pics are from March of 15, the day after I brought it home:

Both of my Brilliant Black cars got a bath today.

It's hard to tell from the tiny sig pic, but the difference between the two (the car as it was in the sig vs this new picture) are the 20mm spacers.

This is another series 1 faking s2, correct?

You're missing the under sweep for the KS type-03. And from what I can tell have basically built a replica of my r3. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so thank you I guess...

Yep, Series 1 With the Series 2 exterior. 😁

Not sure what your car look like but props, great minds think alike.

Never bothered with the Knightsports undertray just in case it got in the way with the V-Mount’s airflow. 😉

Interesting spoiler. Don't think I've seen one like that before. You have more pictures from different angles? Happen to know the manufacturer? Just curious

Just posting a more recent picture of my R3:



Just so I have an excuse to post one of my Christmas presents. I mean, it is actually a present to myself, as no one in my family would have known to look for this for me, lol. Especially at the price point.

It has always bugged me that every toy or model of an RX-8 you'll most likely find is a Series 1 car. So I looked for a Spirit R model, knowing that it would look exactly like my R3, except for the red Recaros. It cost a pretty penny, but I love it:





How it looks normally displayed:



I thought about painting the model's wheels bronze to match my rims, but I'll likely just end up messing it up, so I'll leave it alone for now.
