Hi Roland

Thanks for the PhotoShop images - they're great to look at.
I think the luminous green makes the '8' look like an Elise-wannabe, but is good to look at all the same.
I like the purple, but might feel differently after one week...!
Overall, the orange is my favourite, but I'll stick to my Velocity Red for now.
If you get 'Juiced' on PS2, you can do all the paints/modifications you fancy, without leaving your home or opening your wallet! :D
Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.
Safe driving

Thanks Ezzy for the contributions...I like some of your colors better!

Thanks to everyone for their comments...seems like the orange is a bit of a winner along with the dark blue

I was talking to someone in my area who says it will run about $4000 to paint the car (not including inside the trunk, door jams, etc)

I kind of like the orange myself (the Audi TT has a nice orange), but I might go for a yellow...if they still made them in that color! $%#

had the dark stratos blue been available in the US, it would have been my color of choice. Outside of that, only Ti was acceptable.

The MS blue in Japan looks very close to the 10th Anniversary Edition Miata color of Sapphire Blue Mica or Innocent Blue Mica as it was called in Japan. I would love an 8 in that color. In the meantime, I'll settle for Brillant Black or Velocity Red :D

Green: to bright.... would be kinda alright to see on the road, not my taste tho.
Purple: hell no, looks like barney
Orange: not bad
Teal: decent
Blue: decent
Brown: looks like poop, haha or UPS VIA ROTARY!
Pink: can any1 say power ranger?

my favorite colors are in this order:
Black (but its a pain to keep clean, even for some1 like me who washes twice a week and waxes once a week)

velocity red- mmmm so sexy

white looks really good to if it has the appearance package or MS kit.

then i guess the others are all the same to me in preference, maybe blue would be next.

+1 if i ever get an Elise I want it in this color. I think the 8 looks great in this color also. My second favorite would be that metallic burnt orange color. I also wish they still made lightning yellow. I wanted one but you can only get it on an '04

I could but the cash is better spent on something else. Plus I love VR and am happy with it. It's just if I had the option lightning yellow would have been a strong contender in my purchasing decision.

I didnt see the date. what the fk does it matter if its a little old? Is it any less valid of a thread? I seriously doubt many ppl have seen the pics. And from the few posts there has been since, enough ppl had something to say. so shove it.

i like the isotope green and the orange. the brown is pretty terrible.

Agreed. It's better to revive an old thread than start a new one about the same topic, am i right?

But yes I've seen 350Zs in that awful brown color before, it's just terrible. I like how the cars look normally, but in that color...eeewwwww.
