After 3 weeks of delays, it finally arrived!

My car was supposed to arrive the 4th week of July, but it finally made it today (8/13). The color is different than I expected. It's dark green with a grayish-blue tint. I like it! :D

Yes, congrats! Wash that car and then take some pics on a bright and sunny day, I'm really interested to see more in-depth photos in that color.

Bob - Congrats!
The next time we get together, you won't have to hold up the paint :D

Greens are so rare you'll be the center of attraction - let us know some time and place where you'll be and I suspect several other RX-8s will arrive to make your car feel welcome.

Not a big fan of that color ... it's to lifeless for such a hot car. Of course, I always thought the same about Montego Blue. Very blah.

Are you basing this opinion purely on the images or have you seen it for real? I get the feeling that it looks quite different in reality as the light hits the reflective particles.
