I think the front MS bumper looks fine with the stock appearance package. You might want to check with some other brand side skirt to see if they goes together well. I am more performance oriented/ligther weight approach so side skirt is not in my mind when I upgrade my car. The car doesn't have much hp to begin with and I don't want to add weight to the car. The only thing weightwise that I added to the car was dynamat sound proofing in the trunk and behind the rear seats. It makes the midpipe/exhaust sound less booming. No resonance, just nice clean exhaust sound. I have Hymee on mine and it sounds perfect with RX7store midpipe. Loud when you want it to and quiet when cops are around. Never get pull over since I have this set up!

RX8 HA HA
thick and heavy? Look at your front! If that doesnt look thick and heavy I dont know what does. You should look into other sideskirts.the car looks so bare with out sideskirts to match it. And as far as performance oriented goes, haha there's not much performance your going to get from a mazdaspeed front bumper, its just there for looks, but hey its your car.

Thx love. Random moments in time when I just look at the car and say to myself, "That would be a really cool shot." My silver Jeep was to the left, sun was setting, perfect light.

What do your guys think about the front plate? I got pull over 4 times and result in 1 tickets and 2 cops threating me of giving me a ticket everytime they see me driving without a front plate on the bumper. Previously I mounted mine on the front windshield. While other people getting away with it....I don't....and I don't know why....So here are some photo of my car with the plate mount from underneatch the front bumper. At least I didn't put holes on the front of the expensive Mazdaspeed bumper. The holes are under the front bumper which I can live with. I don't think it look too bad....I have to give credit to my friend from MN Mazda RX8 club that help me make this happen.
Sorry about the last photo. The picture was out of focus because I afraid people think I am crazy taking my own car photo in the parking lot. People at work already know that I am the crazy guy that walk around his car with windex and a towel in his hand each morning before going inside the building....They give me a nick name "Mr. Clean". Anyway, the plate is not touching the front bumper. It is extended out around 1 cm. or so.
