well done Yuhki,
you're certainly braver than i am, i wouldn't dare take an electric drill to my current car, never mind my 8 (assuming it ever arrives)
nice pics as always.

Spoiler! more like a slug having a rest on the boot lid
Sorry, can I be objective - but am I the only one that thinks this
spoiler is well, pointless
Functionally it doesn't do a great amount
Looks wise > it really doesn't make the car look better
if anything it makes it look pretencious and dull >more like a Ford Puma from the back - Yueck
Not everything about the RX8 is great - and I would say this is
one of the less appealing aspects of it
I've been given an options list from my Mazda dealer - I shudder to think what the total bill will come to if you buy the lot - I like the idea of making your car a little bit different from other ones - with the options and all - but I can't help thinking why some of the add-ons shouldn't be part of the standard model anyway - I reckon I'll hold off for a bit until the price comes down - don't want to get stung even more - us brits always get a raw deal when it comes to buying new cars
I love the spoiler on the X-Men RX8 - that's what made me fall
in love with the car initially
If I'm gonna get a spoiler for my RX8 I'm gonna get that one
(If it ever arrives in the UK that is!)
Anyone know if veilside are doing something for the RX8?
(I can't say i'm overimpressed with the torque - but you can't have it all - especially not at the price range its pitched at > The Audi TT interior in my opinion is one
the best - The RX8 interior in parts looks a bit messy with the blend of different materials - I've gone for a Black and Red leather interior > they could have had leather all round the seats - instead they've stuck some horrible plastic at the side and back - bummer)

...you say that you don't like the looks of the RX-8 as is, but inquire whether or not Veilside was going to make a monstrocity for it??
...it's obvious you're a man of very decerning taste.

correct 0.01 drop,
Wakeech, as you're obviously very well informed do you know how the optional arch spoiler effects the figures? (just curious, although I would imagine it would only serve to highlight grey imports in the UK)

Veilside
I've read your opinions on veil side Wakeech - so I won't bother
stoking the fire on the subject - suffice to say I don't think
they'll be sending you a XMAS card this year or any year for that matter - LOL
Got to say I've been checking out the MazdaSpeed kits
and they do a lot for the car in terms of looks
Dunno if they improve the aerodynamics though
Perhaps someone out there more knowledgeable than
myself on the subject could enlighten me
On Mazda's Japanese website I've totted up the bits for the
kit and it works out around £2,600 GBP - Now I know in the UK
we get a pretty shitty service when it comes to catering for
additions - unlike Japan - Looks like i'm gonna have to import
it myself, unless anyone knows a company that does
MazdaSpeed in the UK?

I too would like this rear spoler.
I can just imagine the day this $50 peice of plastic becomes available to us in the U.S for about $500 or something like that.
Anyway, should someone make this happen at a reasonable price, count me in.
