Looks just the same as a Z with it in. I'm not a huge fan of it on either car, but it looks fine on your RX-8.

 

remove the mazda badge. The area the duct is in is just too small to be having more than one thing going on, hence why it looks funny. Remove the badge and have just the duct and it SHOULD look better.

 

Yea, I was planning this, I have to get the holes plugged though.

 

yea i would have to agree with most of the people on here...it doesn't look right on the 8..

 

Im not a fan of air ducts whether it's on the Z or 8. However it does look better on the Z because of it's wider front end. It kinda looks like a mole on the 8. Not bad tho, im sure it looks better in person

 

Thanks for the opinions guys, although mostly negative

Ill try to get some better pics and post them, I think better pics may help a bit.

 

Oh, didn't know there were holes. I have a site, can;t rememeber it right now but they sell manufacture colored hole plugs.

 

damn I feel bad for this guy but it's really ugly. **** sorry but give you thumbs up for trying something new. Good luck!

 

I think it looks good for an rx8 mod. It is no Z of course but it's nice!! Good job cuz!

 

looks good man its funny how people hate just cuz its not a Z

 

Thanks guys

 

Looks good to me...........and i dont care about looks, only performance.........

so to me, this is my kinda mod regardless of what car its on

 

i think it dont look right either......on any car, including the Z

They have plugs for the holes in the bumper, not the best thing but better than a big hole.

 

I think it looks just as bad on the 8 as it does on the Z...I hate that **** on either car. but I prefer clean lines to holes.

 

^^^me too

and someone above me said he likes it for "performance" reasons. haha

it would have to give me 50hp to put a out of place hole in my bumper. and id be willing to bet my life it dont do much.

 

Yea, well some people like it for looks, which is why I did it. I like the way it looks and I wanted to get cooler air into my engine bay during the summer months. We all have our own reasons for the things we do I guess

 

If you like it... that's all it matter.

 

agreed with the "if you like it, that's all that matters" mentality.

it's ok to hear other opinions though : )

 

in for better pictures...
