I like the car for a couple reasons:

1. It's individual. There are a couple Rx-8s where even if I saw them going the other way on a highway I would know who that was (chrism).
2. It's not all 1 thing. It's got some paint work, some audio, a turbo kit. When I look at my car, I always think "I'm building the sports car I always wanted" and not "I'm building the rolling stereo I always wanted" or "the dragster I always wanted".

I think you have a couple things working against you.
1. The paint scheme is fairly rich. You are two-toning a car in 2 dark colors (red and black). On top of that, the the Rx-8 is a car with a lot of lines. On top of that, you are interjecting a prominant stripe and contrasting emblems and decals. This makes the car visually busy and heavy. On top of that, it looks like your pictures were taken on an overcast day.
2. The decals and abbreviated stripe on top of the base trim of the car make the car look short. The line of stickers and stripe both end at the firewall which kind of visually shortens the car.
3. The angle of your car in the second pic isn't flattering. The car has one wheel turned at the camera and is sitting back on the rear axle. This makes the close front end of the car a mile and a half off the ground. I have a stock ride height 8 at the moment and I almost had to look outside to see if it's really that high off the ground.
4. The reason *most* people don't like decals is because it emphasizes the brand name of a product over the actual product. That's like buying clothing on it with huge logos. You pay for the name hoping it impresses people. When you build a car, you use a lot of brand name stuff, but, in the end, you'd like to say you picked your parts because they were the best parts for the job, not because they were the biggest brand name. I've seen a few cars with decals that were unintrusive. They either put them on the side skirts or bumper corners.
5. The HUGE Mazda brow I just don't get. I have a tint brow that is probably even thicker than that, but it's much more featureless. Most would consider that redundant. Anyone who didn't know your car was a Mazda is probably not worth telling anyway.

I think, if you put on a MS kit, the car will look much better. It'll look lower, longer, and hopefully, dilute the color contrast a little. The decals I would leave along if you like them and those are companies you use. Generally, people are paid to put the decals on for a reason, but that's small potatoes. Then, take some pictures with the car angled a little better on a sunny day.

I bet with straight strakes, an MS kit, and no Mazda brow, the complaining about the stripe and decals would be less as well.

I think if there is a little bit more done to the exterior portion of the car (body kit, lip kit), the car would look very nice. I know how it is being young and buying an expensive ride. If it makes you feel any better, I'm only one year older than you. It's been hard to pay for everything, but that is what i get for trying to drive such a nice car. That is also why I am very cautious about what I do to it. I've owned my 8 for 5 months now, and my car hasn't gotten more progress than a rmagic front lip, apperance sides. strakes, front and rear trim, intake, and clear corners. >.< It sucks, but thats' the way I am.

I know everyone wants to personalize their car, but you have to understand that your taste isn't everyone else's taste. It is your ride, and what's most important is getting it the way you like it. Asking for other people's opinions, will get you just that, their honest opinion. I am very glad that you get to drive a ride like this in high school. If you take some of the advise here, I'm sure people at your school would love it even more.
