That looks kind of cool. If it wasn't so pointy in the front, but cool nonetheless.

thats pretty sweet considering i love FD's and just like the front end of Rx-8's. lol. pretty nice looking IMO. hah

looks pretty clean.

wow that black 3rd gen is fucking beautiful!!!!!!!! i wanna check the back out, where did you get this pic crispeed????

either that balck car is photoshopped or rthere is something wrong with that roof

omg i like it i really like it

I think its kinda creepy. It bothers me. That black one is photoshop job, it must be.

i like the black one

Yeah the black one is photoshopped, just look at the bottom edge of the door it doesnt have that upward swing of an FD. There are too many lines of an RX8 there for it to be a true conversion.
I can say that if it was a true conversion that you could sign me up for one because that thing is hot as hell!!

4th gen ......i wish

You have to be kidding me. That front looks awful on a FD..

looks good... i like it. let's see more production pictures of it.

you know what, if thats what the new Rx7 would look like i would buy one for sure. But those designs mazda is puttin out is crap! that black one looks very nice

Nice. The only thing it needs are molded in Pettit rear fender flares to better match the front flares.

now that is exactly what i want..driving a FD and have everyone think it's a RX8

...some people.

also, why use a stock front end...MS looks 10x better. IMHO

Take that car ^^ and put the mazdaspeed bumper on it, call it the 4th gen and I'd be (reasonably) happy...hey it would kick the pants of that awful Kabura thing.

i agree unseen247 the mazdaspeed looks strait sexy on a rx8 but if the 4th gen 7 looked like this.. i would buy one for sure..

I think its ugly as fock. Those fenders bulge out so much that it unbalances the lines of the rest of the car.

The one thing I love about 90s Japanese sports cars were the long sloping hoods and wedge shapes. Ever since car manufacturers had to take into consideration how to make their cars more pedestrian safe (in regards to accidents), front ends of cars have been getting more and more blocky in the front. Case in point are designs like the new EVO X design.

Now why would you want to put such a blocky front end on such a svelte sexy car? It's like having a girl with a hot body and a disproportionately huge mandible.

compared to this, it looks awesome.

Prôdigy

honestly they dont look bad at all.

it looks good but i would still take the 99 spec front end.

Interesting......I think that would have looked better than the RX-8. I dont understand how Mazda dicontinued the RX-7, a rotary powered turbo 2 seater coupe, and replaced it with a 4 seater RX-8 that's weaker than the previous RX-7. Don't get me wrong, the RX-8 is pretty nice, but not nice enough to replace the legend, just good enough to run along side it. :) In other words- that looks pretty sick, Mazda should make it and call it the RX-8 and then come up with a 4th generation RX-7 thats much better.

I believe that's WHY Mazda made the distinction in calling it an RX-8 and NOT a Rx-7 FE !!

I want to see the rear end of the black car.

Pretty cool. Looks better then the regular 8.

I find it to be hard to look at, simply because every time I look at the front my mind says 8, but when I look at the rear my mind says 7, and for some reason they're like oil and water in my brain.

thats crazy the black one. kinda looks good.

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!!!!

well its always been my belief that the rx8 is nothing more than a modernized 99 rx7 up front. look at them side by side common lines are there the front have of the rx8 is rx7 the rear is just ASS it looks like the designers said you know what screw rx-7 took a meat cleaver and glued on that ricey ass bulbous rear end the front after the front doors screams modern

I agree, why would you ruin a FD like that? Could have bought both cars for what the conversion costs. Or thrown more mods on other than intake, exhaust and a dvd player.

Looks cute, real cute in pink. Performance isn't usually cute.

i think its beautiful. i dont care if any one says its not right. i think its a beautiful combination that works just fine. :)
and damn is that black one confusing on the eyes. just doesnt look right!
the real thing is much better

The tone tone is tight but i'd go with black/blue instead. I'm shure the person had access to a cheap front clip but even so, id still do an aftermarket front bumper. Why go to all that trouble fitting and painting when it would be the same work for sexier front end. I'd like to know how much width the front fenders add? The black one has the rear RX8 fender flares photoshoped. I like the idea of modernizing the look but mostly to add the HID/Zenon lights (replacing the popups).

Or the border, mazda speed, feed type II, etc. etc.

Not a huge fan of the Rx8 I'd never spend enormous amounts of money to make my FD look like an RX8...

I don't like, but interesting. Next stop: 4F4F.
