Has anyone purchased this badge?

I haven't seen anything searching through the boards, and think it might go well with the Galaxy Gray I have, just not sure of the quality.

Interesting as http://www.hookupshop.com sells it separately for $20. I see they have a lot of other things for the RX8, too.

So what is the Spirit badge all about exactly? Looks cool, but there has to be some significance behind it.

I saw them on a black RX-8 at Seven stock. Looked really cool, but I don't know the history.

As stated earlier, the final special package FD RX-7 was called the Spirit R. It was available in a new color: Titanium Gray Metallic, had BBS wheels, Recaro seats and a number of other upgrades. There was a small badge next to the side repeater that looks just likek the badge Evo-R sells/gives away except it said RX-7 instead of RX-8.



There is no Spirit R RX-8.

It's a very good looking badge nonetheless.

If RX8 Club had something like that, I'm sure there would be some members who would show some support. Would that be okay XDEEDUBBX? :P

I totally agree, or it's like putting an RZ or Bathurst R (other special edition FD's) sticker/badge on the car. Silly.

What I would buy to support the forum is a very simple sticker that displayed the web address. In a tasteful but someone standard font. No rotary symbols, nothing fancy. Minimalistic and classy. Something like this maybe:

I recall seeing an Efini badge on an 8 that was s/ced, but I guess the s/c made up for having the badge?

I, myself wouldn't put the Spirit R, but I'd put on the Efini if I went FI. It's not as if people who don't know about Rotaries know what Spirit R means anyways, let this man do what he wants.

Just my .02

I had the Efini badges on my 93 FD, but they were the corresponding emblem for the JDM version of my car, and besides, the old toilet seat emblem was so ugly!
