I think this may be as close as you can get to that style...at least from what i've seen. I think RE-Amemiya sells one.

Options for the 8 are slim.

EDIT: Just figured out the RE-A looks the same, Evo-R copied theirs.

Looks okay, and it looks like a mini rear spoiler.

All I can see it doing is directing air potentially over the top of your spoiler which may negate any benefit that it may have had.

If you are struggling to find a visor and like the Mazda Miata (MX5) design, I believe it fits the RX8 perfectly

it’s a spoiler, not a visor

https://reamemiya.com/collections/li...iber-rx-8-se3p

https://www.rhdjapan.com/re-amemiya-...rx-8-se3p.html

probably $500 - $600 USD by the time shipping is included from Jp

I don't see an image for the re one, the other isn't the style I'm looking for.

This one really isn't bad at all, goes well with the body lines too.

That's not bad but doesn't really seem to go with the aesthetic design.

I find it hard to believe a Miata version will fit an RX8, but maybe

not sure if they’re still in business, but it’s likely just a cheap, generic part from the far east if you had any google-fu skills at all:

it sure looks like it any way … apparently they do refer to it as a visor though, knock yourself out.
