I'd rather see a huge tin spoiler on back, one that sits about two feet above the rear end... and maybe they can "trick out" the back door like on Saturns so it opens to the rear... whoa, that'd be cool.

great work Enfini, but i don't think the car looks as visually balanced without SOMETHING to look at on the rear deck... i agree that the wing isn't that attractive, but i still think they need to have something there, like a nicer wing

im a little confused here....
MAZDASPEED cars, that is, cars sold in the US by mazda NA with warrantied performance mods etc......THAT mazdaspeed is a division of MAZDA NA isnt it? Isnt that why only North America got mazdaspeed proteges? All literature I have read about Mazdaspeed cars indicates this, that it is indeed a division of mazda north america. I am waiting for my mazdaspeed protege, and have been for quite some time now and I have "spy shots" of the first ones in testing in Japan. They were LHD. because they are being made for the north american market. This rx8, is RHD.
Where did these pics come from? and is there concrete 'proof' that this is indeed a Mazdaspeed rx8 in the respect that we are thinking of it? Is it possible that this is a car done up with mazdaspeed goodies being developed for the RX8 like they have had for the rx7 and other mazdas in the past? you know, like a Greddy show car, a car that greddy takes and pimps out to show off things that they are going to be making for a certain model?
but anyways. i LOVE it. mmmmm...........

I think this color really fits the rx-8. The front air damn would be a lot better without the winglets on the sides, and they just need to do away with the side skirts, or al least change so that they don't make the car look so think. A wing along the lines of the r1, with two supports in the middle section, with the edges sliding down, and comming out of the body smoothly would look a lot better. The rear should just stay as it is.
The wheels = teh beez neez, but they need to be 18's, not bigger.

i love this car. i have liked the rx8 but never cared for that stupid happy, smiling front end. that front airdam, however, has the 911 gt2 feel wo it and really sports the car better. i agree on the fender flares. feels ackward, like they need to smooth back into the fender and create a more flowing line. overall though, this has really peaked my interest in the possibilities awaiting this car over my obsession of the 3rd gen 7. it was the outside pics of it that brought me to this forum.

Just a thought??
how abt if the wings were automatically AND manually adjustable?? :D it will solve some of the likes and dislikes of the wing... hehehe...
drawbacks: weight... and it might even look more riceyer... dont flame me ppl... its just a thot... :p
And btw, where is the front fog lamp??

I feel one of the neccessary mods is the removal of the front wheel well fender crease running to the side vents. Get rid of it as I did and it eliminates that PT Cruiser/pontoon boat look, IMHO. I redid the front end too but didn't have time to post the pic. I'll do it when I get home from work. I'm definitely no photoshop artist though...photojournalist yes. Every key or technique I used (practically) was the first time for me...I never get to retouch photos, LOL.
