the Evo has them to clean up the air as its directed over and under the rear wing again proven technology in the Evos case the WRC. The 8s solution is the shallow indentation that flows along the length of the roof. It appears RMagic enhances this by only having two vortex generators at each end of the roof thus further creating cleaner aero for the rear wing... now as for splaying 8-12 of them along the span of the rear roof line this is still an undocumented and unproven aero enhancement

Vortex Generator Fins belong on airplanes where they actually do something.
They also belong on Evo's because they are part of what makes an Evo look fierce.
They do not belong on an 8.
Maybe R-magic makes their parts for women. Pink wouldn't be "gay" then, now would it.

If a mere 10 fins with each order can generate.........
* Increased Gas Mileage
* Increased Performance
* Increased Down Force
* Increased Top Speed
* Increased Velocity
......then logic stands to reason that if you buy 6 sets instead of one set, and place the other 5 sets on the front of the hood, the base of the windshield, the top of the windshield, top of the rear spoiler, and a good 5 each on the corner markers, we should not be able to tell the difference between the RX8 and a Porsche 911.
hahaha I laugh at the suckers who paid $75K extra for the Porsche hahahaha!
