What do you think of this paint job

There is a semi driver that comes to where I work all the time and his truck is painted in a pearl orange that I really really like, it would look kinda like this, but I can't make it reflect the way the original paint job does

I have always liked that color. I think it looks great on the 8.

Do it!

Black interior doesn't set it off. Needs something like a cream or parchment leather interior.

agreed, I'd like the rims from the new 09s

I'll get a pic of the truck that has it and show you all, the color is actually perfect for the 8 because the pearl shines on curves, and the 8 has many many of them.

Only problem I have is that I'll be turning the car into a cop magnet

yea that would deff be a problem with the cops, as if cops already dont follow the 8's enough. but as for the color i love it, i agree with some others and say that a body kit would deffinitielly make it look better and i think the rims from the 09' rx8 would be a nice addition. but i say go for the color

would look great, I found these in my Hper Rev. The Prodrive RX8 is offered in Europe and Japan... look into this that color may have a factory paint code. Like others have said, with a color like that need a nice body kit or a Carbon lip kit to offset the orange

Agreed, agreed and agreed. The color looks great but would best be served with a more aggressive body kit and black wheels.

agree with everyone though, it's hot, but could get hotter with a body kit.
