Rotary Shaped Exhaust Tips

Interesting idea, for sale at eBay Germany, looks pretty good. Unfortunately the exhaust is completely custom made which would mean quite a registration effort with the german TÜV.

I've seen it discussed a few times here with a photoshop or two. It doesn't look bad. It might with the stock rear though. That would be 3 rotary shapes - if you had an accent back there it would make it a little more busy...

That's true, three shapes might look a little overcrowded (I have a foglight in the back and therefore no accent). On the other hand the "triple front rotary" look from front accent plus headrests looks pretty good imho.

The 3 up front collectively form another rotary symbol too. =)

Kind of, but not really. I'm bored at work ....

I think there´s TOO many triangles going on now... What´s on the car from the beginning is more than enough.

The apex of the rotary accent on the rear bumper points down. Looks like from the picture the apex of the exhaust tips point up. Something else to consider.

Recall Jeremy Clarkson's comment from Top Gear about the exterior design of the RX-8:

"It's busier than a bishop's hat!"

I love that line. What analogy would he use for the rotary tailpipes?

"It's busier than....?"
