RX-8 verde itaca pearl
 
here are a few pictures of my rx-8 going from velocity red to verde itaca pearl

the verde itaca pearl is originally used by the lamborghini murcielago

most rx-8 owners in my hometown have got the velocity red as a colour , so i decided to introduce a change

so far I'm very satisfied with the transformation

SARRAS 05-16-2009 12:15 PM

Kerrrrrrmit!

Red_Fox 05-16-2009 12:16 PM

thats a sick transformation congrats bro

lepichichi 05-16-2009 12:22 PM

it looks different :) nice ride!

dshiznit1489 05-16-2009 12:24 PM

Awesome, a watermelon. It looks sick dude. :icon_tup:

3DZukini 05-16-2009 01:01 PM

I like the color, now you need some nice custom Alcantra seats with Green contrast stitching, some tint, and more exotic wheels... then I'd really like it :)

Baez rx8 05-16-2009 01:25 PM

nice love it...

TopGear8 05-16-2009 02:40 PM

Looks good but the red and black interior does not go with it at all.

nuke0907 05-16-2009 03:09 PM

needs a body kit. R-Magic widebody.

Gr8Bullet 05-16-2009 03:17 PM

hmmm thats different. lol i like it

Tamas 05-16-2009 03:23 PM

Interesting... at least definitely different. Not sure I'd do that color, but it looks pretty cool.
Now, as it was said, you'll have to change the interior too, because the current one absolutely doesn't work with the new color.
Did they paint the the engine bay too? Otherwise it'd look rather weird to see the original red and the green next to each other.

Alucard 05-16-2009 04:09 PM

I like the color... great job on setting out to be different... but now you need a body kit bad.... imo

altspace 05-16-2009 04:19 PM

Hmmm...really hard to say because your pics show all different shades of green. Props for doing something different, but not a fan of the color. As mentioned, the interior is way off now. Also noticed the piston hanging from your keychain. ;)

chrism 05-16-2009 05:56 PM

wow thats a sexy color....takes big marbles to go that different

kersh4w 05-16-2009 07:14 PM

it's not easy being green.

lol.

you should swap out the red leather inserts for green leather.

Symbioticgenius 05-16-2009 07:53 PM

damn, how much does a complete respray like that cost?

luckygrrl 05-16-2009 10:36 PM

Wow, I love it, that looks amazing! I'm jealous... seriously. But that interior has got to go.

foo77 05-16-2009 10:56 PM

nice colour :) hows about create a new thread Calling all non RX8 colour? i've seen one from rx8's member from Malaysia with Aston Martin DBS Racing Green :cool: here's the thread https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/my-knight-sports-kitted-8-a-170771/

Jedi54 05-16-2009 11:07 PM

wow, that's different!
I think the color works very well on exotics such as Lambos, not sure how I feel about it on an RX-8.
The interior will need some help though, the red looks very out of place.

congrats on doing something different. As long as you like it...

NgoRX8 05-16-2009 11:12 PM

it's a nice color. you gotta do much more mods to accommodate that paint.

13DM 05-17-2009 06:11 AM

thanks for the comments

regarding the interior , it looks a lot better live than in pictures

I have seen a lamborghini murcielago with the same colour and green black iteriour , but to me it seemed too ordinary

I've wanted to paint a car verde itaca pearl for quite some time , it being my favourite colour , and the rx-8 seemed like a good choice to try it out

the paint job costed around 2 and half grand , converted to us dollars

agreed.

L337fpc 05-17-2009 09:49 AM

I have never been a fan of light green on cars...but that is a sharp shade of lime green. Good stuff man.

jaii13 05-17-2009 10:26 AM

Love the color, the workmanship looks good too.

You need a bodykit real bad now.

:)

kersh4w 05-17-2009 09:08 PM

green on the outside, red/black in the inside.

my gf said it looks like a watermelon.

:lol:

Rotr8 05-17-2009 09:19 PM

HWK11 05-17-2009 09:42 PM

Red_Fox 08-18-2009 09:26 PM

Fortunate Few 08-19-2009 12:03 AM

Dark tint will help ALOT

rodjonathan 08-19-2009 06:54 AM

thats a sexy looking watermelon and you need tint bro

13DM 08-25-2009 12:26 PM

at the time of purchase , it already had dark tint but I didn't like it

the body kit is out of the question because I am satisfied with the overall shape that it currently has

the engine bay had already been cleaned

nice, any engine bay pics?

RawrX8 08-25-2009 03:47 PM

Now you need to lower that bad boy. Get some wider wheels with better offset or spacers.

kersh4w 08-25-2009 04:26 PM

what are you talking about? his rims are already flush.

PerformRX-8 08-25-2009 04:58 PM

nice color, its like the HULK...

alfy28 08-25-2009 05:23 PM

+1 for being different. nice job

DRFTGTO 08-25-2009 05:54 PM

dam that looks very good, great work, and is that actual lambo paint? cause i know that shit is anything but cheap

this exahust?...is remus?

JantzenRX-8 08-25-2009 06:49 PM

I really like it. My only thought is that a color that extreme should have a body kit to go with it... And some window tint... :)

szym0n 08-25-2009 09:54 PM

very nice

Zerotide 08-25-2009 10:02 PM

Did you get keyed really bad?

chickenwafer 08-25-2009 10:57 PM

I really like it. With some green leather inserts to replace the red it would look bitchen
