My friend, I know they say a picture is worth a thousand words, but I am fairly certain I can sum up the result in just one: SHITTY.

Here they are, and for the negative comments this car is way sexier than any of yours including myselve's and will probably smoke them too. (maybe not being a show car) but worth more

I don't think that color suits our car, plus it'll look like *** as it's a pain to maintain, so unless you plan on only showing it and keeping it covered forever, or cleaning it every 2-3 hours I'd pass.

Agreed with most posters, cool look but unless your showing its not practical at all as a color. Not to mention chroming your car would give you the Silver Curse x10!

^^^ok that has to be a joke, it has to be PS, if not then its the most EPIC FAIL! The chrome RX8 is just a show car, so its clean and got lots of attention, tell me if your car was next to it as many people would be around yours? HELL NO-, so stop Hating and continue on. I know if half of you seen that 8 at a car show u would walk up to it and see what it has and not say anything negative. All u guys just front on here, but its okay if that makes you feel any better. And last, its an 8 like yours so why bash it?

Not frontin' at all dog, I've seen lots of cars at shows that get shitloads of attention, does that mean they're badass?

here's something for you, that car is at a show, in a f-in booth, with the hood closed and the trunk closed, here's how a car in a booth should be displayed:



not all closed up like it's hiding something, if this car was in my class at a show I'd whoop its *** since it's not showing much other than the interior, and people probably would pay more attention to mine since it's showing more.
I'd be curious to see how well that paintjob was done too, probably riddled with flaws, or it's vinyl which is whack to begin with.
