I didn't say it was riced, but it's not the car. It's an rx7 emblem, on an rx8...

Why not just design your own? Pay a machine shop to make it for you. It'll be a little more expensive, but you'll be the only person in the world with it

your right you didnt call it rice c0ldf1ame did......and its not just an rx-7 symbol its a mazda symbol....there are efini eunos (miata's) along with a few other model's as well in japan....its a special model or division

In the late 1980s, Mazda diversified in the Japan market with the launch of three new marques. The company created Autozam, Eunos, and Ẽfini, in addition to the Mazda and Ford brands already marketed there. This experiment was ended in the mid-1990s.

The Ẽfini name and logo originated in several limited-edition RX-7s from the late 1980s. As a brand, it encompassed most, if not all dealers formerly under Mazda's "Auto" dealer chain.

The Ẽfini marque was a sport-oriented brand, as opposed to the more comfortable, luxury-oriented Eunos. Today, Mazda continues to use the Ẽfini name as one of the company's dealership chains, along with Autozam, but the vehicles sold no longer use it. This included the following vehicles:

1990-1997 Efini MPV/Mazda MPV
1991-1993 Efini MS-6/Mazda Cronos
1992-1997 Efini MS-8 car unique to the brand
1991-1993 Efini MS-9/Mazda 929
1991-1996 Efini RX-7/Mazda RX-7

the bottom line in all of this is that the efini emblem does not relate to the rx-8 in any way.

RICE.

The term rice consists of Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements. But remember, the populous all have different views of rice.

The fab rear looks MUCH better in black. But so do all other body kits

Anyone noticed the fab rear is cracked?
