I love it, but not in a daily driver type of way, more of a promotional showpiece or a limited edition car (Like Chevy's pace car packages) that should add a few hp. Not something I'd do to my car personally though.

I am getting the "Mazda" lettering logo in black over my rear wheels(one on each quarter panel) on my blue Rx-7. It'll look nice.

You're probably not gonna get a whole lot of sticker love. Personally it is not my taste, but it actually does look pretty decent. The way you choose to do it reminds me somewhat of a Mustang GT type thing. As I said not my taste, but it looks much better than some recent stuff I've seen on this site which is similar. Also brownie points for a nice pic.

Pace car look - yes. DD - not so much.

Oh yeah 9K I think those pinstripes on those wheels would look awesome. Im not a hater also. I just express my opinions just like most people ask. If we all liked the same things all our cars would look alike. Its a good thing to have different tastes.

The MS front end without the side skirts makes it look misshapen.

Agreed. Car looks good minus the giant white Mazda sticker. Isn't this the turbocharged 8 from Australia?

if the stickers are thinner it'd look nicer n more elegant, right now they're too bold and stand out too much, plus the do nothing for the cars profile n rather make the car look fatter (read, not wider). but it seems like its not your car so you probably dont care

Considering it was built for Mazdaspeed in Australia as a prototype and has 360hp, love it.

I like it.

Would look better w/ MS sideskirts so that stripes would follow the lines better.

I know its not his car now, but 360hp makes me very jealous.

It's a nice looking car, but it could be better. Why not spring another $700 for the side skirts?

Sorry, I hate it ... the big white MAZDA really ruins the car completely ... but hey, I wouldn't mind the Ford GT type of stickers though ...

I think, everybody in this thread is confused.. Some people think its his car giving him suggestions as to what to buy, and some people don't think it's his because the pictures are 3-4 years old.

I agree with the "love it but not for a Daily Driver" sentiment. I didnt notice the mis-shapeness (MS bumper without side skirts), but now that someone pointed it out it bothers me.
