Rear Fender "Cut Outs"? what are they for?
Folks, the RX8's Rear Fenders have some parrelogram shaped "cut outs"....at least I think they are cut outs located in the front section of the rear fender's flared out section....what are these for? Why did Mazda place them there?

Those aren't cutouts, they are rock guards. Look again
