Thanks for your opinions, everyone.

I'm gonna leave it stock, I think. I hate the look of the rear foglight - much rather have my rotary-shaped one!

Why, thank you very much. The stripes came with the car when I bought it (sans kit), but I've had them completely re-done after the kit was put on. They've been done much better than the last ones were!

As for the wing, I was 50-50 about getting it striped too - then I remembered that I own Forza Motorsport on the XBox. Which has a car designer:



If you ever think about getting graphics of some kind on your car, Forza (or something similar) is a great way of finding out how it's gonna look! (Except for that weird yellow colour - that's not there on the screen; my camera seems to have pulled it out of nowhere.

Looks better than I thought but all in all it looks very... "American" which may be a good or bad thing depending on you

I love Forza as well...lets hook up sometime and I can show you how I made mine look exactly like that little black Borla Import Tuner.

SirChickenHeart is my screenname if your interested. I'm not very good, but there could be some fun had. I recalled seeing a thread where people posted their screennames and made a huge RX8 forum car club. But I have just recently got the game and would be totally over matched with them.

Probably too bold for me personally, but overall, not that bad looking. Cheers for being unique!

Ok so this striped car is starting to grow on me....every time I come back to this post I seem to like it more. I am not sure if it is because the 8 looks like a race car and the stripes seem to go with that or if it is cause the 8 is so awesome looking anyway, no matter what you do it still looks great.
