Silver is a clean and modest color. If you work within those boundaries, you have a perfectly balanced - modest car - (Don't hate me!) Your car needs a little flash... a little passion!
Thing is... it's looks great. It's clean, everything is too perfect. Nothing individually stands out. Somewhere, you need a little color. Not lots of different color... but one constant detail color. Something you like, something that is expertly carried through the theme of your car.
Perhaps add the colors Black/Red. Carry this secondary color accent around the car. The wheel center... shiny glossy black is not my first choice on a silver car.
Silver is a hard one to work with. Actually, I would have gone with a DULL Charcoal Black Wheel, with Red Lugs. I would carry the Dull and Shiny black combo into more areas of the car. Perhaps a wing spoiler. Either Red/Black or just black and it would for sure be a DULL charcoal black.
The front bumper is something else that looks GREAT! but is perhaps a bit too modest? With silver it's easier to go a little extreme and get a bumper that is flashy. Perhaps even intimidating!?
Those are my thoughts, I hope they did not offend anyone.
For the record, I really like silver, they are one of my favorite colors on an RX8.

CF hood and trunk to match the black roof(its been mentioned before.) it would look clean with the spoiler mounted on the CF trunk, get some rx8strakes.com fender vents in black, or look for some CF ones, get some CF mirror covers, eyelids....hmm??? you can smoke or red-out your tailights, jdm sidemarkers, maybe color match or smoke the mazda and rx8 badges, get some coilovers that you can electronically set the height...stealth bulbs in the head/tailights give a nice look. Aw man i gave away the recipe to my dream rx8

It's JDM. A lot of cars in Japan have them for a better ground. Helps for not getting shocked when getting out of your car, if you're one that has that problem.
My favorite thing is, you get everyone trying to stop you because you have something hanging from the bottom of your car. Then you just smile and say I know.

RX8 HA HA
If you do truely want to stand out silver is not the way to go. I for one am not into the showy flashy side of things, but there are a lot of people that are and thats fine. Don't let people on here deter you from what you want to accomplish. They don't know ****. Paint it a different color. Silver is the most plain and boring color a car can be painted. Try something different, something that you don't see everyday.

i like that one in blue, between the 2. maybe a tad lighter shade of blue for the bottom paintjob, and a shade or two darker blue from the color you have now for the pinstriping between the blue and black.

3DZukini has mad skills. Try a Ferrari red/pearl white combo with white mesh wheels with a 4 inch chrome lip or maybe some mesh wheels with the titanium lip. What do i know, try photoshopping and see what you like. I for one think function comes before form.

Nice car. Silver is not a color that stands out but its simple and subtle. I see that you enter your car in a lot of shows. Do you plan on having this car a full blown show car or keep it as a daily driver? I say FTW and just convert it to a right hand drive car, get a roll cage, bride seats, paint it a different color, Turbocharge it...etc. Good thread keep us updated on what you do next.
