Thanks -- those are some great pictures.

I notice at least 3 of the cars have no front badge. I'm thinking of de-badging my (soon to own) black 8, leaving only the RX-8 on the back.

Do you know if the badges are glued on or on posts? How hard was is it to get them off (without marring the paint)?

Thanks,
--Mike
Black GT any day now...

the badges ?
Is it the mark of Mazda Motor?
Since these are the fronts of the Mazda Speed kit, it is not attached the mark of Mazda Motor from the first.

but In the normal front, the hole for attaching a mark is open.

thanks ReX-8
I used a product called "Touch-Up-Pen" for my tires lettering.
and I changed the tire, when exchanging wheels.
That is "Potenza G3"
Please see my other posts.

Yes, I meant the "mark". I didn't realize the Mazdaspeed kit replaced the entire front piece (actually, I didn't even notice that it was Mazdaspeed.)

Thanks for the info -- too bad about the holes in the standard nose piece, I think it looks very good without the badge, but I wouldn't want to have holes showing.

Look at the third pic of the silver 8. Compare it to the red one below, notice that the rims have been swapped around. I like the original config better.

The red really looks a treat. IMHO the MS kit looks so much better without the wing. Gives it a really sinister look.

The kits come painted. You have to specify the colour when ordering...

Very nice. I really like the Mazdaspeed front. Definitely need side skirts though IMHO. As you can see, it looks kinda weird when you compare the silver car with the red one side by side.

i like the MS body kit although it doesn't seem right with those little fog lights in there...i'd probably keep them empty...and with that kit you definitely need the wing to add to the back...otherwise it just looks like it's missing something...the side already looks like it's missing the side skirts

those eyebrows are really cool looking, i agree
