Thanks for your opinions, everyone.
I'm gonna leave it stock, I think. I hate the look of the rear foglight - much rather have my rotary-shaped one!
Why, thank you very much. The stripes came with the car when I bought it (sans kit), but I've had them completely re-done after the kit was put on. They've been done much better than the last ones were!
As for the wing, I was 50-50 about getting it striped too - then I remembered that I own Forza Motorsport on the XBox. Which has a car designer:
If you ever think about getting graphics of some kind on your car, Forza (or something similar) is a great way of finding out how it's gonna look! (Except for that weird yellow colour - that's not there on the screen; my camera seems to have pulled it out of nowhere.

I love Forza as well...lets hook up sometime and I can show you how I made mine look exactly like that little black Borla Import Tuner.
SirChickenHeart is my screenname if your interested. I'm not very good, but there could be some fun had. I recalled seeing a thread where people posted their screennames and made a huge RX8 forum car club. But I have just recently got the game and would be totally over matched with them.

Ok so this striped car is starting to grow on me....every time I come back to this post I seem to like it more. I am not sure if it is because the 8 looks like a race car and the stripes seem to go with that or if it is cause the 8 is so awesome looking anyway, no matter what you do it still looks great.
