New genuine Mazda red trim piece for the high-mount stop lamp. Restores factory colour, clip fit and rear presentation on any RX8.
$100
The RX8 boot brake lamp cover is the red surround housing the high-mounted stop lamp on the boot lid. Over time, UV exposure fades the red, and age brings cracks or chips that drag down an otherwise tidy rear. This genuine Mazda part is produced to the same factory specification as the original, so it clips, colours and sits exactly as intended from day one.
For RX8 enthusiasts refreshing the rear of the car, this is one of the most visible single improvements available. The stop lamp sits at eye level for following traffic. A clean, deep red surround lifts the whole rear presentation immediately.
Pair this RX8 boot brake lamp cover with the VALENTI Smoked LED “Revo” Taillights for a cohesive, modernised rear end, or complement it with the GENUINE MAZDA OEM Spirit R Taillights L&R to keep the rear fully genuine. For official parts and brand information, visit Mazda Australia.

Yes, the genuine Mazda boot brake lamp cover suits all RX8 models across both Series 1 (2003-2008) and Series 2 (2009-2012). No modification is required for either series - it clips directly into the factory mounting points.
This is a genuine Mazda OEM part, manufactured to the same factory specification as the original. That means correct clip alignment, accurate red colouring, and a finish matched to the surrounding boot trim from day one.
The original red trim piece fades, cracks and chips with age and UV exposure. Because the high-mount stop lamp sits at eye level for following traffic, a deteriorated cover is one of the first things noticed on an otherwise tidy rear. A fresh genuine cover restores the correct deep red finish instantly.
Yes. The factory red colour is matched to the adjacent boot trim, so the replacement restores a consistent rear profile. Aftermarket reproductions can vary in shade; using the genuine Mazda part avoids that mismatch risk.
Installation is a straightforward clip-in process with no modification needed. The genuine part is engineered to the original mounting specification, so alignment is correct without adjustment.
A used cover will have accumulated UV exposure before it even arrives, meaning it may already be part-faded or crazed on the surface. A new genuine part starts with a fresh, undamaged finish and avoids the uncertainty of a second-hand piece's history.
Genuine RX8 parts availability continues to tighten as the model ages. Sourcing new-old-stock genuine parts now is the sensible approach while supply holds, rather than waiting until only used or aftermarket alternatives remain.
