I haven't seen it in person, but in the printed pics it looks really classy.

I was a big fan of the Winning Blue though.

I like it as well - darker than phantom blue.

I can't say which one I like better.

I don’t like the Stormy Blue Mica they offer. Too dark for me
But then again i haven't seen it in person yet.
I like the blue shade of Kane's Phantom Blue a lot more


I'm a fan of Winning Blue too. I wish they still produced 8s in that color

Edit: Deng it Kane, you posted while i was typing this

^ Is that an NSX behind your 8? Looks like about a 94 or so?

Great taste in cars my friend. Two of my faves right there!

I saw it in person at night but it does have a lot of purple in it. Very few to pick from at the end of the year.

Briann - how funny is that!

The car behind is a 94 FD painted in the 2000 Mercedes Blue.

Myriad- That looks H O T!

I'm starting to like it more and more...

Kane- That's an FD??? Wow. It looks like an NSX to me for some reason, maybe the angle...

I love the stormy blue, it was actually the color of the first 8 I test drove, but it shows dirt really bad so you gotta keep it clean.

If you're getting the car, you should be the one to decide if it's a good colour.

Got the year right but I thought it was an NSX. Kinds looks like one in that photo from that angle. Kane got a link to any more pics of that beauty?

Stormy Blue rulz!

It is a bitch to keep clean, just forces you to take care of your baby!

I personally haven't really thought that it looked purplish at times. It is sparkely dark blue in the light or very dark blue to black in low light.

I was set on a Phantom Blue until I saw that color on a car, it was too teal for me. Salesman directed me to a stormy blue and I was sold!

It's too bling bling. Makes the car look girly.

Okay I should have said too much purple mica in it for me.

And posting pictures taken with a poorly balanced color deficient camera/CCD doesn't change my opinion. Can you wash the color out any further in your second shot?

I only like stormy blue mica with beige leather seats, looks classy with those two combos......but it is a classy color, but i just dont think it shows off the bulges and lines of the RX-8 as well like Winning Blue did......
