Took a few photos this morning. Again, I'm no photo journalist so go easy on me. Actually in one of the shots you can see my camera: a sony T7 (that would be the reason for the quality: awful point and shoot in case you're wondering. 
I've include side views, walk around shots, inside looking out the back, left side mirror, from top down.

wow, thanks for those additional shots. I think you are right about the paint...looks pretty darn close to me. I think you sold me on this. Great job.
One more request, if I can, could you take a picture of the underside of the trunk lid. I'm curious to see where the mounts land on the underside of the trunk lid. A picture from directly underneath, with the trunk open would be great...did you mount with 3m and two Celica bolts?

I mounted it using 4 bolts. Had to drill on top and work through the metal backing underneath. It gets harder the further back you want to place the wing as you have to work through more metal. Preferably you will want to mount it so that the inside trunk lining covers any holes you make. I didn't bother using the 3M tape.
Its funny. The wing actually fits our 8 better than it does the Celica. It curves down on the sides flush with the body whereas it kind of conflicts with the flatness of the Celica trunk. Just a thought.

Spoiler for sale!
I have one of those spoilers in perfect shape for sale. The clear coat is flaking, but it would need to be painted to match your paint code anyhow. I'll let it go real cheap. I'm in Baltimore , Maryland (east coast) and can ship pretty much anywhere the buyer feels like paying to ship. It's currently year 200 Stock "Absolutely Red" in color. I can't beleive how much nicer it looks on the RX8 versus the look on my stock Celica, I like it much more .
