I like it, a lot. I would have done some things differently but it's a hot car!!
Okay **** I can't help it.
1. Spacers
2. Lose the vortex things
3. Lose the RX-7 badges
4. Lose the Mazdaspeed on the sills
5. Hit those tips up with some ultra fine steel wool and Brasso.
6. Mesh behind the CF grill.

Love the Odula wing, havent seen one other than thier shop car, everything else I agree with 9K, I would also add that you should paint your oil cooler screens black as well.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions, lol, a lot of "nit picking" and "do this cos its what I would do" stuff though. But its all good. I don't want spacers cos I actually like the wheels tucked in, not flush, and I don't trust spacers (spare me the arguments please). Tips are dirty, sue me, I cleaned them two weeks ago they get dirty so fast. The badges ARE RX8 badges, not the old RX7 ones, and I like them! Mesh behind the grill is something I probably will do, but its not a top priority at this time. R-Magic catback is next up!

nit picky is what Mags are looking for, it really is the little details that will determine wether your a readers ride or a full article, the one thing I do admire though is your choice of top notch parts(RE Amemiya, Odula Volks, Racing Brake) keep going with it,,,
Love your car all around but just saying mags are looking for something not everyone can do...

1st impression looks great 
+1 on mesh behind the grill, just to get aware from small chips or other.. and black mesh would look good.. just can't see which Rx-7 badges you guys talking about 
as for vortex, i agree with other, but as long you like, its your 8 
anyway i give it a

Everything looks awesome!!! except the vortex generator and it doesn't really help unless you position a wing at the proper height and distance from it but yeah .... fricking sexy strut bar...
while they look tacky (i had them as well but i dont think anyone on the forums ever saw them before i took them off LOL) he has them set up to actually do something rather than for looks.
idk either way this thing is still ******* beautiful with or without the generators, im not hatin on them
