Ive been going back and forth with this seller on this 2004 Rx8, manual. Does this car look repainted to you? what gives it away is the paint color does not match the factory colors offered in 2004. Just seems a bit dark. Also there is not front badge, looks shaved and the orange peel looks little rougher than usual? I will ask the seller tomorrow if she knows. Im still waiting on more images from her to send me. I live out of state so i cant just take a quick look in person. So far the seller has been honest about the car to her knowledge. She said there is some rust under the car. She sent a video but still is a bit hard to tell from the video. The engine is no good, but that doesnt matter to me, buying mainly as a shell if i do buy from her. Also the rear plast on the rear bumper where the exahust tips are, the plastic that meets the middle valence thing looks like someone tried melting the plastic together? anything else you guys see that looks off to you. I know the wheels are aftermarket. She said the car has an aftermarket exhaust.

Thanks

 

Looks like a Nordic Green GT.
Speculating the rear shroud may have been cut out for larger tips then tried to do a bad repair job.
The front has the metal appearance package rotor emblem but the rear one is missing.
It could be a replacement.

 

Paint looks correct. It's Galaxy Grey. Can confirm it's been repainted checking the color code on the door.

 

In my defense, I an slightly color blind.

 

One thing I have in my tool box is a tool similar to
this.


You can easily see if a car has had any paint work done. Take any of the guess work out for you.

 

One other thing is galaxy grey wasn't offered until 2006. So if it's a 2004, it's definitely a respray.

 

these guys nailed it but bc is wayyyyyyy off with the ng assessment lol

the exhaust shrouds look to be poorly epoxied/jb welded/plastic welded most likely to the common problem of the tabs breaking off
