IMO it looks silly without the Mazda badges. Fair enough remove the model badges, but are you ashamed to drive a Mazda or is it even a Mazda at all? I can't tell, you took the badges off.
Did that once with my G....had to call my dad to bring the jeep over in the rain and drag me out. He wasn't happy about it. Gotta love the "Hey dad I might have accidentally gotten my car stuck up to the axles in the rain...I figured I should call you while I can still get the doors open...do you still have that tow rope? Yeah, it's in his front yard. No I'm not drunk." phone calls.

I like the colour and the stock rims, overall a very nice car for the money. What type of mileage do you see now?
Thanks i plan to have the wheels painted Gunmetal Grey. I'm averaging 17mpg at the moment but its only driven at weekends and driven pretty hard.

It's called an AUTHENTIC AFTERMARKET BODYKIT ordered directly from Japan. Autoexe is the company. Ever heard of them? Probably not. They're only the most respected tuner for Mazda other than the legendary RE Amemyia, but ofcourse you didn't know that either. It doesn't come with Mazda badge because it's NOT FROM MAZDA. The Mazda badge looks tacky on a bumper like this. I have the OEM badge on the back, so I'm not ashamed one bit to have it on my car. I would only have a Mazda badge on the front if it was a Mazdaspeed, because then the badge serves a legitimate purpose, but not in my case. Since Mazda didn't make it.
BTW, mine is the ONLY one of it's type because I made custom louvers for it. The Authentic bumper is extremely rare in itself because most people can't afford it, nor do they want to wait 3 months for it to be shipped from Japan, just like my Volk wheels. But you didn't think about that either. Why don't you just go back to your little Ricey 90's Honda with fartcan exhaust and leave the big boys that no how to mod alone. K thanks.
Happy now? Mazda badge FRONT AND CENTER!
He drives a Brabus Smart Roadster, not a "ricey" Honda....

....but to quote your own words...
For what it's worth, I agree with him. The car looks empty with no badge, regardless of what super-sweet, rare, authentic bumper it has.
Love that "colour" lol I think gold/yellow-ish rims would look really nice with them, but it is your car. You all get all the good Ford cars across the pond. The Focus isn't available with that kind of power here in the US.
For God's sake the man was just stating his opinion on the lack of the badge, which I share. However, you completely lost reason when you insulted him.
Not everyone is forced to know everything, you know.

I'm not against de-badging as a whole, but in this instance, to me the front bumper of the RX8 just looks a bit empty without it. But hey, he likes it so that's cool.

Not everyone is supposed to be an ass ya know
At least SOMEONE here agrees. And I never debadged it for the people who think I'm ashamed. It never came with one, and I never got around to getting a badge. At the time, I liked the look better without it.
It was also too much of a pain to source at the time, but I may reconsider getting one again, although it was $50+
Wow okay, all I meant was that I didn't like how the car looked without the badge. I mean, you only posted it here because you wanted people to tell you what they thought, right?
I'm glad it's custom and rare and all the rest, because I'm pretty sure you have to have deep pockets to afford to drive a 1.4 litre car that only gets 26 (imp) MPG
You won't have fun with the 300bhp if you don't have the RS clutch...trust me.
Yeah i know its next on the cards along with LSD, It slips time to time under a big fistful of Torque, I ran Race+ before and it actually slipped a lot more than Mod C.
Well I quite like how it looks de-badged. I'm sure a badge would set it off nicely, but it doesn't look bad at all without the front badge.
Just picked up a 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0 Turbo fully loaded in Harbor Gray Metallic. Loving it so far! Great bang for the buck.
