I only saw it at 7stock so far. I can't wait to see it again. I want to compare it to Titanium Gray up close.

I saw one up close and personal, I don't like titanium gray very much, but I found myself thinking... I could definately go for this. it has a strange color change effect in the sunlight, just like the phantom blue (which in all reality is green)

Washed and waxed her today and snapped a few pics to show everyone. Picked it up last Monday so technically, its not new anymore......

Absolutely loving the car but if gas prices keep rising, something else is gonna have to give (like food........>

Very nice. I would ask the dealer to take off their sticker though, it distracts from the beauty of the 8....

funny you mention that. It's my number one demand when I take it in for the first service...........

For you guys that haven't seen the Galaxy Gray, it has a very high mica content and does change color depending upon the sun. On overcast days, it has a very blue hue to it. In direct sunlight, it sparkles with a hint of red........

IMHO, it is a nicer color that the Titanium Gray

agreed.... I would have be-headed them some defacing my 8 like that....

I can deals with licnese plate frames because its just that... a simple frame that can be easily replaced.... but NO stickers on the body whatsoever

question about waxes (or should I post this elsewhere),

I slathered on a heavy coat of Mcquires Gold before this pics were taken simply to protect the car as I really hate car detailing stuff.

Would it make a difference to do a better job with Zaino?? (while I still have the motivation). And would I have to strip the current wax or just apply the Zaino on top???

The M.Gold wax will protect it, however personally feel that the Zaino gives it a longer lasting and more depth finish to it. It is worth the time and money.

And yes it is best to remove the older wax before putting the Zaino over it. Take a afternoon off, put some music on and you'll appreciate the results.

Galaxy Gray does look nicer, I'd have to admit.

It's a nice color, but I saw it in person this morning and it really doesn't strike me as being enough different from Ti. If it wasn't for the sticker in the window that proclamed the color, I would have figured it for Ti.

Phantom blue is a nice sounding color, but I wasn't digging it. It looked way too turquoise for me. Reminds me of the old necklaces my grandma has. Maybe if I was a chick I'd buy it.

I want varity of colors. Not slight variations of preexisting ones.

PS: no offense meant to anyone who has a phantom blue.

This is my car in direct sunlight. You can really see the blue inherent in Galaxy Gray in these shots.

I saw one of these pull up near me at a stop light and it looks really good when the light hits it, it looked like a light blue RX-8. I think this is the best looking color for the 8, if I ever get another 8 this will be the color. Sweetness
