Well it was a nice day so I took some pictures. Heres a picture of my car when I got it last month. Bone stock

[

And here are some pictures I took today.













And this ones just a shot of what color it is. Ive been told nighthawk black pearl, but now im thinking more Flamenco black pearl because its not just blue flakes in the paint. Its mainly red.



Tell me what you think.

 

looks good! now start modding!

 

i swear this is a

your car is purple

 

what do you have for suspension, coilovers or sportlines

 

nuespeed

 

reallyyyyyyy what kind of struts

 

shit looks good, lovin the black

Nice drop too

 

looks kinda purple in the light though. nice regardless.... what are you?

 

What am I?

 

2.3, 2.2, or 3.0 ---- auto or 5 speed

 

2.2 auto
wtf
purple??

 

i see people are confused by ur car color too.... LOL! my car is green, but looks blue in different light.. keep up the good work wit your ride.. id go wit some rims next.
but thats just my

 

Your car does look really purple in that light, my nighthawk is black with a blue hint to it. For a second, I thought you bought shavedh22cl's purple plumberry cl.

I def think it's flamenco pearl, nighthawk doesn't have purple in it

EDIT: Question, why does your driveway have a sidewalk going through it

 

it only looks black to me in the first and sixth picture... looks completely purple to me in all the others..
didnt you post a while back and say it was purple?

edit: here's what i was talking about https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=180402
"(By the way, when my car is clean, and its sunny, its purple)"

it actually looks pretty black in those pictures, though you can still tell it's got some purple to it

looks good either way

 

its like that sometimes. my parents had that at my old house and they couldn't tarp it because it was owned by the city

 

WTF..i thought everyone had sidewalks splitting their driveways

 

Its a 2.2 5 speed premium. I would of got a 3.0 but there all auto and I really wanted to stick with 5 speed.

Yeah im really thinking flamenco for the color.
Thanks for the complimants
Oh and next exterior mod on the list is def going to be rims, but i dont want to buy some cheap rims, so im going to save up and get a nice set. Im still trying to figure out what type, im thinking either black or bronze with a chrome lip. I think bronze would look real good with the purple. idk though what do you all think?

 

Wasnt that ShavedH22CL's car? He did say he put it back to stock and sold it....

 

Your car is Black Currant Pearl Metallic, it has purple flake. I have a Flamenco Black Pearl Metallic CL. It has a hint of blue flake in it.

 

nice, so what rims are you gonna aim for? Can't really go wrong with a black CL.. I hope...

 

shaved's is alot more purple than black...

 

And he left his exhaust and springs on i think

 

Ah...Primrose Metallic maybe?

1997 CL colors:
Black Currant Pearl Metallic
Dark Eucalyptus Pearl Metallic
Dark Green Pearl Metallic
Flamenco Black Pearl Metallic
Frost White
Inza Red Pearl Metallic
New Black Pearl Metallic
Palm Green Pearl
Primrose Metallic
Primrose Mist Metallic

 

Its not a stock color, it was repainted. It was originally black. If it is a stock color, its not the original one. And no this car was bought in rochester, its not shaved's car.

 

And no, its not primrose

 

For rims i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. I think bronze with chrome lip will look good. What do you guys think?
