i think the r3 package with a mazdaspeed front bumper would look nice, but i also think that the mazdaspeed should have the square lights.
i was considering getting the new rx8 after seeing the press release photos, but seeing these real life photos i would rather go with the 40th anniversary
hopefully some aftermarket bumper will come out that doesnt have a huge smile

i think mine photgraphs just fine, the new model was just tweaked in the wrong ways

To me the perfect accessory for that front end would be this on the hood:

Totally agree.
