You're not manly enough to deal with pink tow hooks? 
Little sanding and rustoleum will make them red again. 
Philip, great catch on those feeBay hooks. I've been using stock hooks with climbing caribiners hooked to them to get the 2" minimum diameter the tracks like to see. I tie-wrap the 'biners to the hooks so they don't clank around on-track. I wanted the MS hooks, but they are just too expensive. I don't need them for bling, I just need them for the (hopefully never going to happen) oh-**** moments!

The ebay page has 3 colors right now, blue, red and yellow but the only ones that say RX8 are the blue ones.
Question for the OP. You bought red, did the listing say rx8 or did it say m3 and m5? It says they fit all vehicles but I know not all vehicles use the same size tow hooks.

"Made by High Quality Aluminum Steel" <<--must be some new alloy "JDM METALLIC BLUE " <<-- as the pic shows a RED hook!At least if it actually is as pictured, I'd be worried about the swinging hook banging on the front bumper and/or grill constantly.

Here is how far my mazdaspeed towhook sticks out. Its flush with the bumper itself.
My front tow hook I have to use a bar to get it off its a workout in itself.

here you go~
I think they come with different colors, so far I know they have blue, red and black,they may have more colors, price was reasonable i think, $35 shipped, but you need a small work on the hook tho, coz the hole on our 8 is pretty deep, so you will need a piece of screw or sth to adjust the hook (it's adjustable)

Hi, is that a reasonably easy fit on our rx8? Or any modification that has to be done for it to fit?

Most affordable and function one is the MS one, but those are rare these days.
Or you can go to japanparts.com.
Some ebay ones will fit, but those are not functional, just decorations.
