It's up at the local Mazda dealership. It has a Cali. plate so I would assume it's the real deal. Couldn't tell if it had a turbo or not, but there was no FMIC which I would assume it would have if that were the case. *DISCLAIMER* Pictures are stupid big. [censored] if you like, but I'm not going to resize. I will give links to the pics though so everyone can at least see this far. They're plenty big enough for backgrounds. wheel close up pic from front pic from rear MS RX8 vs. RX8 Mazdaspeed sill panel pic from side/front

It kinda has a double spoiler thing going on, a lip spoiler and a wing.

i didn't know MS RX8's were factory boosted. . .what are the details? There is no IC behind there, so I'm assuming not. . .just a body+wheel kit.

There is no Mazdaspeed RX8 available yet, however you can order the apperance parts and a few handling upgrades from Mazdaspeed in Japan and have them installed which is what I assume happened here. Thing is , the bodykit alone is like 4 grand, which is insane. I think it looks awsome anyhow and I love RX8s

Correct. The only Mazdaspeed RX8 is in Japan and it is accessory equipped besides the flywheel, intake, exhaust, chip, suspension. Although, Mazda does have a 362hp turbo 8 running around at 7lbs of boost. They have another supercharged 8 running around as well. So as of now the only boost you get is if you purchased it yourself or if it is dealer equipped.
