A spoiler would look nice, but I have a carbon fiber trunk. Does anybody know if a spoiler would crack my trunk. What kind of spoiler could I put on it? I like the EVO wing but I don't know how that would look on my car. Any suggestions?

Theres a wing from Rmagic. Not a good picture but just search for Rmagic wing on these forums and you should find some better pics.

Stuck in a love triangle
It's almost like owning an exotic sports car.
It screams for your attention, you only see one a couple times a month, and no one else in a 10 mile radius has one (unless you're unlucky).
But the best part is when you run into these brand new RX-8 owners out there who pull up to you and tell you they love your "custom" paint job. Bahahahaha.
The only times I ever regret swapping from Titanium Gray to Lightning Yellow is when I get pulled over by the pigs.

When the rx8 debuted and literally right until I bought my rx8 in April of 05, I saw more yellow rx8's than any other color. If I saw 3 rx's a week, two of them would be yellow. I honestly thought it was going to be a me too color, but ever since purchasing my 8, I have seen only one yellow and that was like a month after I got my car. LOL...where did all the lightning yellows dissapear too?

This is my 2004 with navigation and all the options. These are my custom 18 inch wheels. They are staggered. 40 series tires on the front and 35 series on the back. I don't have any mods done to it and probably wont. It doesn't need any in my opinion, except for maybe a K&N. I had an 01 Mustang GT convertible that was really fast and this car runs the same quarter and 0-60 time.

Nice car, Padrino. Did you have the rear valence painted or did the dealer do it?

Thread has been dead a while, so thought I would go ahead and bring it back with my own yellow 8. Finally got my rims and Mazdaspeed kit all put on, so thought it was finally worthy of posting
And before everyone yells, clear corners will be on soon :P
