Some Opinions and ?'s
I am going to be upgrading a lot of stuff on my car soon, so using Photoshop and the parts I am getting I threw together a prototype of how it will (hopefully) look after, just want opinions and curious, I found the door control panels in carbon fiber, and the shifter cover and door handles, but does anyone know where I can get other molded CF for the interior or is a Trim Kit sufficient and quality enough? Thanks. Also, should I leave the CF Trunk stock, or put the Mazda and RX8 Logo and words back onto it? Thanks again.
First pic MY car now:
And HOPEFULLY what it will look like after everything. The image below does not show the CF Trunk or Fuel Door or the Rims I will get:

I just shat myself
I've always hated decals and needlessly giant spoilers. Perhaps I've seen too many Mexicans driving fluorescent green Neons and Civics with airplane wings..
If it's a genuine race car stripped, heavily modified and caged, ok. But if it's your daily driver then you'll just look retarded.

I like everything but the graphics (plz dont get them) and the CF fuel door idea. The big spoiler fits ok as long as the full kit is on, drop is aggressive and the wheel/tire setup run flush. Again, just say NO to graphics/stickers!

So, I'm not going with the decal, obviously, I think I'm going to nix a spoiler all together and just go with the CF Trunk alone. And I may look into a CF Lip kit instead of a Body Kit and just put some grill and CF accents in the stock fender and bumper.

I always liked the trunk-lip, and I'd probably have it if I didn't already have the beer-opener spoiler. I really, really like that spoiler.

Are you looking only for cosmetic modifications or are you interested in anything performance wise?
Body kits, wings, wheels etc. are pretty big ticket items after you factor in paint and getting them fitted.
If you are looking for performance stuff I'd have a few suggestions for you.

Mainly for looks to be honest. Any suggestions are appreciated but I for certain am set on the CF hood and trunk :P
The first spoiler, the second one or both? LOL I kind of like the second one though now, in red or perhaps black like what was suggested above? on a CF hood
Actually now that I look at it I like the MS Body kit better too lol.

kk thanks. But I still am wondering which would look better. Since my car is Velocity Red and the trunk will be CF, would the Spoiler look better in Velocity Red or perhaps even Black?
