New Factory Appearance Package?


Far too mild to be anything aftermarket...It took me a second to even notice anything was different. Mazda is showing this car at TAS 07.

Here is the text attached to the photo:
Mazda RX-8 Mazdaspeed M'z Tune (production model)
This fully customized version of the high-performance RX-8 boasts increased sports car appeal through modifications to raise comfort levels and driving feel. Mazda E&T has taken advantage of its long relationship with the base model to offer a tuner that makes driving safe and fun, both on and off the track. The Mazda RX-8 Mazdaspeed M'z Tune will make any owner proud.
I don't really think that test goes with the picture, but they do use the words mazdaspeed and RX-8 in the same sentence

that's off of the supposed '08 Mazda line-up. Bern has a thread about it.

I like it.. I think the front would look even better with the Aero Flars and front and rear mud flaps.. (somebody photochop that for us to take a look)

not bad. sideskirts look sleek. looks like a lip kit rather than an appearance package. lower than the current appearance package.

i like the side skirts, thats about it. the front and rear look silly

the car is rather round overall, but those things on the bottom of the front bumper are way too sharp/blocky. the rear is too aggressive to match the rest of the car as well in my opinion
