I think you got em all.

Very cool, but some might think it's going overboard.

Yeah, the taillights across the bottom of the rear wing down to the polished rotary accent following the inside of the taillights and the indent for the licence plate, look it makes a triangle.

THAT'S THE ONE!! WHEN DID YOU SEE IT? i think the only reason i finally saw it was because i was following someone who has the rear fog lamp installed. it really made that point of the triangle stand out!!

there is a couple more inside that were missed in the list as well.

(1) Front Bumper Accent
(1) Rear Bumper Accent

These two are waaay too tacky for me. I'd give'em away if I'd want to get the skirts all around (if I had an 8, first of all)...

I hadn't planned on getting the accents, but the car that most closely matched what I wanted (silver Sport with spare tire -- I know, I'm a big chicken) had accents and appearance. Now that I have the accents, I think they look really nice! They go perfectly with my plaid jacket and polka dot pants! :p

what amazes me is the one that's missing. Ever notice that the check engine light looks like a stroght 6? Definitely not a rotormotor.

Considering how many there are, I think Mazda has done a great job not making it look like overkill. Besides, I don't think many people outside of the Rotary world would really notice them anyways unless you pointed them out. Of course you'd have to explain what the Rotor is first.

Has anyone noticed that the headlight adjustment screws are rotary shaped? On cars with the Xenon lights, look directly at the lense from the front. There are rotary shaped holes at the 6:00 position below the lights. Cool, eh?

surprised this wasn't/hasn't been mentioned yet.

But how about the 20 rotor-shapes on the wheels... ya know, the empty space between the spokes of the stock wheels.

(Although, mazda uses this design on non-rotary cars, too)
