Calling All Galaxy Grays!!
 

Post your pics!!

i saw one at the dealer yesterday.

congratulations... :thumbsdow

I only saw it at 7stock so far. I can't wait to see it again. I want to compare it to Titanium Gray up close.

I saw one up close and personal, I don't like titanium gray very much, but I found myself thinking... I could definately go for this. it has a strange color change effect in the sunlight, just like the phantom blue (which in all reality is green)

Congraz!!!

finally, pics of my new Galaxy Gray as promised.........
 

Washed and waxed her today and snapped a few pics to show everyone. Picked it up last Monday so technically, its not new anymore......:)

Absolutely loving the car but if gas prices keep rising, something else is gonna have to give (like food........>:)

Very nice. I would ask the dealer to take off their sticker though, it distracts from the beauty of the 8....

funny you mention that. It's my number one demand when I take it in for the first service...........

For you guys that haven't seen the Galaxy Gray, it has a very high mica content and does change color depending upon the sun. On overcast days, it has a very blue hue to it. In direct sunlight, it sparkles with a hint of red........

IMHO, it is a nicer color that the Titanium Gray

nice ride!

Very nice, putting Gal-grey back on my list of possible colors :aroused:

agreed.... I would have be-headed them some defacing my 8 like that....

I can deals with licnese plate frames because its just that... a simple frame that can be easily replaced.... but NO stickers on the body whatsoever

question about waxes (or should I post this elsewhere),

I slathered on a heavy coat of Mcquires Gold before this pics were taken simply to protect the car as I really hate car detailing stuff.

Would it make a difference to do a better job with Zaino?? (while I still have the motivation). And would I have to strip the current wax or just apply the Zaino on top???

The M.Gold wax will protect it, however personally feel that the Zaino gives it a longer lasting and more depth finish to it. It is worth the time and money.

And yes it is best to remove the older wax before putting the Zaino over it. Take a afternoon off, put some music on and you'll appreciate the results.

Galaxy Gray does look nicer, I'd have to admit.

It's a nice color, but I saw it in person this morning and it really doesn't strike me as being enough different from Ti. If it wasn't for the sticker in the window that proclamed the color, I would have figured it for Ti.

Phantom blue is a nice sounding color, but I wasn't digging it. It looked way too turquoise for me. Reminds me of the old necklaces my grandma has. Maybe if I was a chick I'd buy it.

I want varity of colors. Not slight variations of preexisting ones.

PS: no offense meant to anyone who has a phantom blue.

people are gonna come after you after making that comment hahah jk

This is my car in direct sunlight. You can really see the blue inherent in Galaxy Gray in these shots.

very beautiful!

Cant wait to get some mods on her!

Looks very close to Ti Gray except when you pick up the blue hue or when you see it in darkness like this shot. I love the color.

Here's pics of my 8 I bought last week.

here's one i'm working on

It looks darker than the Titanium Gray, Or is it me?

I saw one of these pull up near me at a stop light and it looks really good when the light hits it, it looked like a light blue RX-8. I think this is the best looking color for the 8, if I ever get another 8 this will be the color. Sweetness

Got mine about 3 weeks ago. Already have close to 1100 miles on her. :)

i'm diggin the galaxy grey. i have a Ti Grey, so i cant say it looks different enough to make me jealous. but i like the darkerness <---its a word

I have an Ti. I guess it looks a little darker, but its hard to say in pics. I want to get mine next to one on person to see the real difference.

This is My Galaxy Gray. In pictures it still looks to be Ti Gray but in person in the sun you can see the blue hue very good..

2007

Yours is a Ti-Gray because its an 04!

lol

it is a titanium grey,
i was looking at the pics here and once i saw yours i thought, this is a tit grey.
And then, i read what you said, and no, yours is a 29Y TITANIUM GREY. just like mine.

I have scratched couple of parts of my car, and i have recently installed apperance package and the paint looks different in few parts and scratches in other parts. I am thinking of repainting all the car.

What is the color code for GALAXY GREY? i might swap to galaxy grey :P

I love my Galaxy Grey... the only thing I don't like is that it's hard for me to find stuff that's factory painted for that paint color.... (i.e. Aero Package)

tit grey has a purple tint,
the galaxy, it doesnt has the shine of the tit.

it looks darker, it has a stronger pearl effect than tit.
Both color look good, but as i have said, i am thinking of painting my car and i would consider to swap to galaxy.

But definately i ill have to see it in front of me to compare.

My wife picks the colour of my cars and she chose Galaxy Grey for the 8. I thought it was kind of bland at first but it is really growing on me. I think it looks like a million bucks at night when the streetlights really bring out the purple in the shine. It's a wicked colour after all.

Here's my 8, only 2 weeks old, at its home in the burbs.

That's because he is a Minnesota Viking and LA Laker Fan.

Galaxy Gray Thread Revival!!!

+1 I'm hoping to pick one up in 2-3 weeks!!! :beerchug:

Living proof that Galaxy Gray is the chick magnet color for the RX-8 :lol:
