While I'm no big fan of body decals and all that, here's a thread where Omicron posted some ones that didn't look half bad - https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-exterior-appearance-body-kits-27/found-cool-website-body-graphics-34592/

My advice? Pick somethin similiar to those and get it in black. Black on red would look sharp, especially if you have the black/red interior!

Why ???

Just my opinion, why treat your RX8 like it is some cheesey Ford Mustang with all those over stated decals.

I think it will ruin the look of this fine looking car.

Cheers !

there was a yellow one with stripes at a dealership(mazda south here in austin), it looked awful, it was like someone just threw some stickers on it. if you do decide to do it, please have them painted and clearcoated at least.

I think all the cars on fnf and fnf2 look sweet. There is nothing wrong with custom paint jobs or body decals, if they look nice.

Well, at least with vinyl he can take them off if he doesn't like them. I'd say start with the decals and see if that's the look you like. If so, then consider paint. Just my $0.02.

I would not do it, but to each his own, so if you like them have at it.
