Personally, I like the suicide doors on the car, its just one more 'unique' ish point to it.

Although that does look nice. I'm not a fan of the dark lip though.

I love it... even if it's only a brilliant PhotoShop job.

That must be one long door.

I'd like to see you open it and get out from a parking spot with a car next to you.

I have the original but it's 448KB and 1600x1200 in size. Won't upload due to 200KB limits, so here it is resized to fit.

Are those Yokohama wheels on that car? Does your high res pic show the name on that wheel?

On the black one, the door handle would be very uncomfortable to open. It should be a vertical door handle if it is going to be that high up the door.

The FD guys seem to do alright, but maybe there's a high occurence of tennis elbow I'm not aware of within the FD community :p

That looks very nice. The back doesn't match the car though. Maybe Mazda could thin of a model like that.

Agreed, looks like a very good chop-job.

I know it's suppose to know but it looks TOO much like a 7, the one I posted just looks like a 2-door 8.

I like the silver 8 in both iterations. The black 8 actually reminds me of an El Camino (if you removed the back glass).

I don't really like the silver one, I don't see the point. It doesn't seem any shorter than the 4 door version, so why bother losing two doors.

The black one looks like ***. It has no flow, it has the edgy 8 front end then a 7'esque flowy middle portion and the 8's ***, looks stupid, like someone combined two cars, which is exactly what they did. Creativity is your freind photoshopers

Ok, then lets see you do better.

By the way the silver one looks a hell of a lot like an MX-3 to me.

The black one gives me a hard on. Beautiful in all respects.

The door handle in the window is really nice (black one) really clean looking, I wonder if it could be engineered though, not much room or support for holding the mechanism and avoid rattles.

Whoa nelly. I didn't say they were bad photo shops, they just aren't very creative. I wouldn't beable to do better, because I have never used photoshop

I like both photoshops, but the black one does have a lil advantage, I too like the door handle.

Well i guess since the door would be extra long in the standard size rx8...

I wonder what it would look like about 6 to 10 inches shorter with no backseat...

Sounds like a more sportier version to me...

I swear with some of the comments on the door handles the two times I've posted the chop you'd think some of you have never seen an FD...
