The color is incredible. I never thought I would dig a green car so much. I think even more than my usual go-to spectrum of blue/dark blue/ midnight blue variety.
Here’s a couple from today cloudy overcast day.

It's really an incredible color and has grown on me exponentially since the reveal. Props to all that chose it.

Yeah it's a fun color for sure. I wish they offered this green on other cars but I'm also glad it's unique to the G8X

Give them a few years...it'll leak onto other models. For now our Frogs are nice and unique!

I'd be surprised if they did on anything outside of full ///M cars. They gave Sao Paulo Yellow to the X3/4M but not IOMG which tells you something. Same thing goes for the YMB and Kyalami Orange interiors. I would be surprised if they really pushed the color out to other models. I can see the M2 looking good in IOMG, but nothing much bigger than the G8X platform.

The worst part is that every POS Kia and Huidai will be sporting this color with their cars in a couple of years. They practically ruined unique colors such as Brooklyn Grey or Nardo or whatever you want to call it.

They even did a copy of Austin Yellow. My wife would always spot one of those crap boxes and say "Look, your car"

The same happened to me when I had the 1M Valencia Orange, my uncle once rented this and my cousin said his father's car was the same colour as mine.
It really hurt me

GoodGuyAvi · 12-11-2021, 09:31 AM

I mean it will be always like that. Now days every single manufacturer trying to replicate colors, design…from other manufacturers. Look the iphone…pushing to mainstream everything they do

I should've gotten black calipers! Ah!

LOL insecure much?

Boomer 2019 · 12-12-2021, 09:58 AM

This color shines even after a day of hard running out in a dirty world. Picture taken at Sebring Int. Raceway Turn 7 - "the hairpin".

To be fair, it's unfortunate when unique colors get used by other brands which takes away from how special they are. I don't see anyone copying IOMG but anything's possible. Green just isn't a common color at all.

Looks great. Where you using one of the Simpson hybrids that works with the stock belts?

Exactly right and was my point. What’s that got to do with security or insecurity, dumb comment lol
