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.

very niiice. mazda should add it to their color choices. I'd hit it.

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