    Thanks for this one

    Check the Mazda RX8 40th anniversary edition color Metropolitain Grey! It's like a mix between metallic black and gunmetal grey, I like it a lot!!!

    Cece I am with you on that color, it is my favorite color too, I normally love charcoal gray on anything...but the metro is way hotter!

    I'm also a big fan of the darker grey colors. They look especially nice when customized w/ an extra scoop of the metallic flake. The agressive use of flake really makes the paint 'POP'. I'd probably also powder coat the wheels black. Bling...Bling

    You could paint everything top to bottom (cladding, hood, mirrors) but then you would need to put a RAV4 badge on the back.

    I have never understood this statement. If you think it looks like a RAV4 painted or not just get rid of it! If however you understand and see the uniquness no matter what is or is not painted welcome to the club. A RAV4 has no hope of looking as good as the worst maintained worst painted VX ever. Most people see non-painted trim as a short cut by manufactures to cut costs, painting the cladding does not make the VX look like a RAV4, just look at the guys that have done it, it is definitely still a VX, some like it better some do not. Come on.
