What about the RE-Amimeya Exhaust system on that car.

Puppy1: You do understand that in Japan the RX-8 is available in white from the factory right? You don't think someone re-painted that car do you? That said I do not agree that any white car is 'rice'. Seems like a closed-minded statement to me. Anyway, I would agree that the wing is VERY ricey. Apart from that I like the rest. The rims are nice in white but would look better in a little bigger size IMHO.

Ricey, perhaps. YMMV. Personally I like the wing, but it seems more suited to higher end vehicles like Supras and RX-7s, not t he RX-8. I don't, however, care for the height at all. I would choose to have the shorter vertical struts (ala Border wings) to allow the wing to sit closer to the body, but that's just me. (^_^) Dispite the objectionable styling, one can't argue that RE Amemiya is one of the premier rotary tuners in Japan. I think they, if anyone, have every right to do whatever the hell they want to the cars they tune. There's nothing rice about much of what they do. They race--and thus require race bred products to remain competetive.

everyone here needs to tone down on this "rice" bashing. first of all i like rice, i eat it every day. 2nd, RE Amemiya wouldn't mod a car if it isn't for performance. good god, you people are actually referring to RE Amemiya as rice??? this is a sad day for this forum, and rotary enthusiasts everywhere. just because a car has a spoiler doesn't mean it's rice, good god... pay respects to RE when it's due. i still can't believe an rx8 forum is dissing the greatest rotary tuner in the world.
