here are a few pictures of my rx-8 going from velocity red to verde itaca pearl

the verde itaca pearl is originally used by the lamborghini murcielago

most rx-8 owners in my hometown have got the velocity red as a colour , so i decided to introduce a change

so far I'm very satisfied with the transformation

interesting.

sweet color

Kerrrrrrmit!

thats a sick transformation congrats bro

it looks different :) nice ride!

Awesome, a watermelon. It looks sick dude. :icon_tup:

I like the color, now you need some nice custom Alcantra seats with Green contrast stitching, some tint, and more exotic wheels... then I'd really like it :)

nice love it...

Looks good but the red and black interior does not go with it at all.

needs a body kit. R-Magic widebody.

hmmm thats different. lol i like it

Interesting... at least definitely different. Not sure I'd do that color, but it looks pretty cool.
Now, as it was said, you'll have to change the interior too, because the current one absolutely doesn't work with the new color.
Did they paint the the engine bay too? Otherwise it'd look rather weird to see the original red and the green next to each other.

I like the color... great job on setting out to be different... but now you need a body kit bad.... imo

Hmmm...really hard to say because your pics show all different shades of green. Props for doing something different, but not a fan of the color. As mentioned, the interior is way off now. Also noticed the piston hanging from your keychain. ;)

wow thats a sexy color....takes big marbles to go that different

it's not easy being green.

lol.

you should swap out the red leather inserts for green leather.

damn, how much does a complete respray like that cost?

Wow, I love it, that looks amazing! I'm jealous... seriously. But that interior has got to go.

nice colour :) hows about create a new thread Calling all non RX8 colour? i've seen one from rx8's member from Malaysia with Aston Martin DBS Racing Green :cool: here's the thread http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=170771

wow, that's different!
I think the color works very well on exotics such as Lambos, not sure how I feel about it on an RX-8.
The interior will need some help though, the red looks very out of place.

congrats on doing something different. As long as you like it...

it's a nice color. you gotta do much more mods to accommodate that paint.

thanks for the comments

regarding the interior , it looks a lot better live than in pictures

I have seen a lamborghini murcielago with the same colour and green black iteriour , but to me it seemed too ordinary

I've wanted to paint a car verde itaca pearl for quite some time , it being my favourite colour , and the rx-8 seemed like a good choice to try it out

the paint job costed around 2 and half grand , converted to us dollars

Looks good but the red and black interior does not go with it at all.

agreed.

I have never been a fan of light green on cars...but that is a sharp shade of lime green. Good stuff man.

Love the color, the workmanship looks good too.

You need a bodykit real bad now.

:)

green on the outside, red/black in the inside.

my gf said it looks like a watermelon.

:lol:

Damn thats pretty bitchin!!!

i wanna see how the engine bay looks like

looks pretty sweet...

did it get keyed when it was red? looks like it in the pics

green on the outside, red/black in the inside.

my gf said it looks like a watermelon.

:lol:

I like watermelons...

you gotta clean your engine bay dude overall great watermelon color now i want a watermelon bubblegum

shoulda got a body kit first.

agreed.

Dark tint will help ALOT

thats a sexy looking watermelon and you need tint bro

at the time of purchase , it already had dark tint but I didn't like it

the body kit is out of the question because I am satisfied with the overall shape that it currently has

the engine bay had already been cleaned

nice, any engine bay pics?

Now you need to lower that bad boy. Get some wider wheels with better offset or spacers.

what are you talking about? his rims are already flush.

nice color, its like the HULK...

+1 for being different. nice job

dam that looks very good, great work, and is that actual lambo paint? cause i know that shit is anything but cheap

this exahust?...is remus?

I really like it. My only thought is that a color that extreme should have a body kit to go with it... And some window tint... :)

very nice

Did you get keyed really bad?

I really like it. With some green leather inserts to replace the red it would look bitchen

Thats a sweet color.

what wheels are those?

that is a great color, nice paint job!

Yes, that's a Remus exhaust .

The rims are kei racing D1 with yokohama parada tires .

As far as keying goes, here's how it looked like

http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/1681/fotografija0390.jpg (http://img121.imageshack.us/i/fotografija0390.jpg/)
It says "recession" .

The color really is verde itaca pearl, the Murcielago one .

I'm aware that a body kit would make it look better, but I'm satisfied with how it looks at the moment and don't indend on spending additional money on it.

Which look better ?

crazy~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
nice mang

I was about to say it might look better with darker wheels. I like the new ones.

Looks different, in a good way. Not sure if the red interior matches though.

Are those G-Force?

I bought the EXACT same in Gunmetal 18x9 +30.. I should get them tomorrow..

edit: nvm, they are not.

The rims are rota tarmac 3

I like both sets of rims and I'm not quite sure which ones are better. I'll switch between the sets over time.

I'll get some new pics in of these rims, once we get rid of this snow...

Look forward to the updated pics.

Cool colour!

looking forward to pics with new rims

nice color. still think it need a kit or at least a front lip and a spoiler. def need some tint too

fantastic job on a 2 year revive

Now that this post is revived from 2010, I would like to see pics of the car now with those new wheels.
