the nicest rx-8 ever. I think it looks better with the c pillar swept back instead of having the window cut off at the suicide doors. What do you think of those mirror tints.

You are skilled with photo shop. You do good work when you really mean to. The flaming painjob and if i may "Riced" look doesnt really appeal to my liking, im more conservative, to me low profile is everything
Thats just the way i am, i dont intend in anyway to critisize your work im just voicing my opinon, which BTW none of you have to agree with (making that clear because in some other threads on this forum it became into a brawl just making sure it wont happen again).

MPS/Mazdaspeed RX-8
With regards to the first few images to this thread... Make these changes, and then remember this thread, for later you may see something on the street that looks like it...
Open up the break/oil ducts (so the bottom of the openings are lower, and more defined)
Under the bottom of the center grill, add a rotor shape, extending down to, and into the front bottom air dam...
Attached is a sucky 5 minute dealy-o I did... minus the rotor and air dam thingie.

that lowered rx8 actually doesen't look too bad... in a real life situation i would ditch the side exhausts, change the rims, and the wing...
everything else though is pretty damn sweet.

All these pictures that people make up for mods actually make the car slower. Body kit = weight. Bigger rims = Weight. big exhaust = weight.
So you can 'look really cool' with the body kits and such... and I'll just fly by you because you loaded your car with crap.

Spoilers and air dams make for better stability at high speeds, which is something I desire. And in fact, IMO the spoiler and air dam I have on my 1st gen RX-7 makes it look and perform better than it's unclad brethren at the measly cost of about 15-20lbs. Poly and fiberglass don't weight much.
Larger exhaust? If it's free flowing it's probably considerably lighter than the stock exhaust, and provides a healthy power increase on a rotary. Then again, being able to shove a watermelon in the tail pipe is not a high priority. Rule of thumb on previous rotary models is that anything wider than 3" is a waste.
Bigger rims are not necessarily heavier, and may provide a selection of wider, better gripping tires. Important for launching and handling. This is to a certain extent of course. 22" rims have no purpose on much of anything that isn't used for tractor pulls or car crushing. Personally, I think the rim sizes that will be available with the RX-8 are fine.
That being said, throwing a big aluminum wing, "duce-duces" and a watermelon shooter exhaust tip on the car will do nothing for performance at all.

For example, a couple of years ago, a magazine (I believe it was Car and Driver, but I'm not sure) took a new Mustang on a high speed oval track. They ran the same car with and without the rear spoiler. When run without the rear spoiler, the car was more stable AND ran a couple of more mph top end speed.
