Hey guys, just bought my rx8 about a month ago and was out taking photos. I did some HDR editing to them, first attempt at it so let me know what you think.

congrats on the new 8! =]

did you use 3 photos at different exposures to make those hdrs? kinda looks like you just tried to make it hdr from one photo which isnt the right way!

but keep the pics coming either way, practice makes perfect!

Sorry I never saw this!

They're Vortex Generators and the guy that owned the car before me had put them on. I just never took them off in fear of damaging the paint or in case the paint was a different color under them. They smooth out airflow over the back of the car and in theory should make the spoiler more effective but I'm sure the only noticeable effect would be at ultra high speeds, like in excess of 120MPH, and even then only slightly. The fastest I've ever been on a track is 115MPH so basically the difference is negligible.


Also, here's a shot from Arroyo Seco Raceway in Deming, NM with the new splitter, which is one aero mod you can definitely feel haha.
