You guys got it all wrong. It's not a wing it's a diving board.
Wow, I bet that thing flaps like wings on a bird above 80mph.
And the GT-R badge, while aesthetically unpleasant, adds torque. And AWD.

It looks like that spoiler came off of a huge helicopter!

The wing looks like a straight plank that bent eventually because of its weight. It looks really strange.
As for the rest of the body, I would replace the rear bumper with Mazdaspeed instead of the overly cheezy veilside one.

What do you mean if you get rid of the wing and fuel cap . . . get rid of all that crap hanging off that poor car. This person deserves to get b*^%$ slapped all the way back to the place he bought that crap from. I can not even believe someone would do this to their Rx8, and a GTR badge, WTF does he think he is driving? While a GTR has a great heritage in itself, so does the rotary. If I ever saw an abomination like that, I would follow the person home and later that night take a HUGE crap on that retarted hood to show the person what I thought of him ruining the car!

ok
the wing is not my style
I think that is the JDM fuel cap- if so Its the one I have
the hood is seibon and just doesn't work with that bodykit IMO
I really like those rims--are they Work rims?
I dont care for the back bumper
I think a different hood and wing would make this car very nice

Hmmmm ... er .... ummm???? ? No.
1) The wheels need to be gun metal, black, or silver to match. But not a bad choice of wheels.
2) The wing. No.
3) The GT-R badge. No.
4) The body kit. I'm not a personal fan of the Veilside body kit. But that's just my opinion.
5) Hood. Good choice. I actually like the R-Magic hood.
But hey, whatever floats the owners boat. He's paying for it. He's driving it.

just to clarify, as mikeb said, that is, i think, in fact, the seibon hood
http://store1.yimg.com/I/hopup1_1837_36759652
the r magic looks the same, its not, from what i can tell, CF, rather it is fiberglass
http://www.rx8garage.net/?page=shop/...7fb42f8f5baf1&
i like the vielside kit, does anyone have to time to photochop that car, or http://store1.yimg.com/I/hopup1_1841_31615830 into yellow?
and you have extra extra time and wanna chop this one too,
http://www.rx8garage.net/?page=shop/...7fb42f8f5baf1&
in yellow too, that would be awesome.......thanks

edit: is that vielside kit fiberglass or urithane (which is what the is on the stock car right? correct me if im wrong please)

Here's the difference between the fuel lid we can buy in the states and the one being sold oversea's (not sure which one Canada gets).
US LID:
