My 2004 "Scuderia Ferrari" RX-8 :)

Found some Ferrari badges for the car on ebay, and I think they look really cool. I'm a huge Ferrari fan, so this is just going to have to suffice until I can get a real one. They are magnets, so they aren't permanent and won't damage the paint. Let me know what you guys think, I'm happy with them!

Hmmm, no comments on appearance - but I think they are real likely to wind up missing.

yeah i realize that, i certainly don't plan on leaving them on there all the time, especially if the car is just sitting in a parking lot or something.

yeah that came on the car, it looks like it just unscrews so it probably comes off pretty easily.

I would steal them and burn them just on principle. When do the pepboys aluminum wing and neons go in? Oh and don't forget the sticker on the windshield!

I don't like it. Just my O. I think it does the opposite of what you are trying to do and cheapens the look.

i appreciate your useless comment but i have no plans to alter the external appearance of this car. My previous car was a Honda Prelude which I owned for 3 years and I didn't change the way it looked at all. Obviously I am not too thrilled about being compared to the people who do this. They're just magnets, i thought it was a cool idea, and you could have just said that you don't like it. My fault for asking for opinions i guess...

Ok, perhaps a bit harsh but I got my point across :p I'm just as blunt in real life if it makes you feel any better. This seems to be popular with Tiburons and Fieros as well, just fight the power and don't cheapen the car. They would look great on the fridge :D

Hey it looks pretty cool.. although man...
thats just a lil too despirate.

In my eyes, you'd most likely get laughed at for having those :-/

But it looks nice, although its not a ferarri, its a mazda.


O by the way, thats the absolute BEST rx8 picture i have ever seen (the night pic). Thanks for sharing that one : ) i absolutely love it

If you took all of the Mazda emblems off, it would look better (than it does now). Might fool some people for a second. Get a few more stares.

But still looks best without the Ferrari badges. It's a great car, be proud of it.

Super photos.

Love your 8, but I too have a personal issue with cross-badging cars. I used to drive a 330Ci, and would always smirk at others with the same car that would fire the "M" badge on it. Different, I know, as people know there is massive difference between a Mazda and a Ferrari...but imho, you should be proud of the badge you bought.

I do really like the yellow on red contrast though.

Also not a fan of the sunshade.

btw - your 8 is identical to mine (red, w/ same accessories minus the sun shade)....nice choice!
