I don't think it makes your car look any better or worse. It just makes people at a stop light stare at your rear and say, "What kinda car is that?" If you like the mystic and you have extra cash to burn, go for it.

I like the whole de-badged look on some cars for sure especially if there aren't many of that particular car around.
For example, I have a old 5th Gen Celica that I removed the badges from when I had it painted (left the Toyota logo but removed the "Toyota, Celica and GT" badges from it and noone ever has a clue what it is... (not because its some expensive car or anything, but simply because noone around here really has one)
I get people everywhere asking me what it is all the time, I like the idea of having something that people don't recognize, then again alot of people asked me what it was even when the badges were still on it.

Have you ever seen a Honda with a bodykit that looks like a plastic shell was placed over the car? I mean huge plastic hangovers beside the wheels. That's what this RX8 looks like. If that is the look you want, you've got it.
Debadging, I think, gives an $8,000 look for this $31,000 car. When you see a debadged "Viper" it means it is just a wannabe-Viper bodykit.

def doing the front bumper, rear will have to be given consideration

I don't mind debadging the "Mazda" and "RX-8", but leaving the Flying M. Everything looks so cluttered back there with all three emblems. Debadging these 2 emblems would clean it up nicely.

RX8 HA HA
hahahaha, no offense but i think rims should always come before body kits. It just looks way too incomplete. But things like this take time unless you have deep pockets. =)

THE best solution
I don't like it completely debadged, so I took off the "Mazda" from the left side, and the "Flying M" from the middle. I MOVED the "RX-8" to the center of the trunk, under the break light. It looks awesome! I'll try to take a pic when I can.
Upside - moving the RX-8 to the middle covers the 2 holes from the Flying M if you position it correctly. I still have to get the 3 holes from Mazda filled in though...
