There are quite a few different aftermarket options for Mazda RX-8 side vents available that may sit quite nicely.

Well I want to do it a nice subtle dark grey but apparently that's not acceptable, needs to be some lairy, bright, in your face type of colour according to certain .org members....

Sort of, a tin of resin and some fibreglass matt thumbsup

Impressive fabbing! Do you have a wider side view?

What material are those Transit arches?

They are ABS plastic I presume, flexible enough to (just about) bend to the right shape but once bonded on they are quite rigid.
Original plan was to take moulds off them on the completed car and then reproduce in glass fibre, but to be honest taking into account the additional work involved in doing that I will probably stick with the originals as they are.
