zany. i cannot imagine ever needing THAT much ducting, although it looks pretty sweet. ricey, with the silly 2/3rd's splitter, and ungodly (unecissarily) huge oil-cooler/brake ducts, but the lower and more pronounced nose with the sweet blockiness score big points for me.

looks just like the mazdaspeed one...tho more edgy and less curvy. the size of the holes look as big as the mazdaspeed one too.

seems a bit too vertically flat to fit on an rx8. it just...doesn't it would plain ever fit on an 8. would want to see on car pic before deciding.

I agree wiv you 110%...
The rx8 like the rx7 has lots of curves and that bodykit would just ruin the lines of the 8. And on top of that, it looks damn HUGE!! I really dont want to see it on the 8... i have a pretty good imagination on how it would look!! just like a jet fighter... :D

I think that it looks ok (keyword here), but if the ducts weren't so huge then it would look quite a bit better on the car.

As for the wing... no... that thing's got to go.

I have always been told "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all". So here's my post:

i still say i like the concept behind the look... oil coolers are now, even moreso than before, obviously WAY THE F*CK TOO BIG for this thing, but i do still like some of the lines...

with regards to that wing, trust me when i say you can do worse... the aluminum pillars are ugly as hell, but the aerofoil is pretty nice, the AOA isn't all that stupid (needs reduction), and the endplates aren't too functionless (needs quite a bit more on the high-pressure side)... but ugly?? oh hell yeah... and too high, waaaay too high, have the proportions all wrong...

That's a bit extreme for my tastes. Torpedoes could be easily shot out of those cooler intakes though!:D

I'm sorry, but that is just hideous.

That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. How anyone can think that looks good beyond me. And that wing looks like it was homemade.

The designer should be shot on sight, and anyone ricing their car up with it should be killed immediately.
