thats because some ppl photoshop them so they look nice and clean... is that what you wanted to know...

then again, some ppl get them shaved to get a naked look.

You can remove the Mazda symbol.. I've also seen 8's without the name "RX-8" on the back.

The little tooth like rotary symbols are add ons as are those little silver dart that go on your screens - they run about 75$ and your dealer can supply and install them....

Does anyone know the size for the flying M on the back? I had it replaced when the trunk was painted and I think they put on a front emblem instead.
