You would think that they would take time to take a decent picture and make it look as best as possible. Almost looks like a bad photoshop job but you can't tell because the picture quality is horrible.

haha, using a car with 16s on it for the photoshoot? Nasty...

Great thing is, this hood would double as a cheese slicer... or you could make french fries by throwing potatoes from the roof onto the hood

Reminds me of that Clint Eastwood movie where they painted the entire town red! High Plains Drifter was it?

I do "Photochopping" for living and I can tell you right now it is not photoshopped. Hope you guys click on the link below the pictures, they are selling them right now in Japan.

BTW 17" wheels are lighter, it will increase performance, who cares if it looks small.

The hood is the only thing that looks decent but I am sure it works in terms of heat extraction which is problems with rotary engines.

(Agreed that the rest of that body kit is incredibly ugly)

How's it do with protecting the electronics etc. from water when it's raining hard? :p

I'm starting to think I will never find the right bodykit

maybe the rx8 is just a hard shape to add to.

I actually really like the factory appearance pkg and I love the look of the Mazdaspeed front end and side cladding.
