Victor's CL-S 6 build
Hey wassup guys,
as you all know my cars been through a lot these past few months and now its in the shop. The whole front end is off the rear bumper and tail lights are off. I've sanded down my whole car with 600 grit so all is left is the radiator support. The thing is im painting it a totally different color and i need some help.
Choices:
07 RL Premium White Pearl Tricoat
05 TL Diamond Pearl White
any other suggestions would help and i will be posting pictures tonight.

^Just looks like ordinary white to me.. it's more of a "omgawd, I have championship white" bragging rights.
I'd just opt for that Lexus white with blue pearl. That shiet looks bonkers.

i like the tl pearl white because i like how gunmetal rims look on it. Im going to have this paint custom made with more blue pearls i think that'll look nice many of my boys already have that lexus pearl white but i dont really like it. I finally get to get my SSR Professor SP1.

You have another vote for the Lexus white pearl. It has a gorgeous blueish tint to it when light hits it at a certian angle. Sort of how the yellow pearl comes out on the WDP TL's. It looks awesome and very clean.

the difference is the price. The lexus pearl white is very expensive thats the color i really wanted but 3 of my other boys have this same color and as i see its getting played out. My boy painted a 350z, 1st gen gs300, and a civic that color. Paint alone is 700 without clear. The TL paint is only 400. I want to do something different while keeping it within acura specs. Radiator support is going in today.

I've decided to go with a custom White Diamond Blue Pearl. I wanted it with the blue pearls. The body of the car is still stock, with a sarona roof spoiler and the rear spoiler shaved. I like the stock look of the car, just want to slam it. Maybe in the near future run the 99-01 TL lip kit. Next the car will get its new suspension and the rims on.

Hopefully i can get all this finished within the next 2 weeks. Car is getting prepped for paint as i speak. after paint ill leave it for a day or two for the paint to heal then wetsand and buff. As for suspension ill be going with the F2's and the wheels are SSR PROFESSOR SP1 yes they are the same set of wheels finally getting some tires on them. Also my trunk is getting a custom box because im trying to fit a 10" solo X in there. So the car should be all done by the end of the 2 weeks.

got an update, tires are on but theres a big delay. The stupid tire shop was suppose to pay me so i can finish up the car and pay the shop for fixing the front end. Now they want to take it to court so my project has been put on halt. I want to get the wheels on but without my new suspension im just going to wait. They think they're going to win the law suit, now they have to pay double of what i was asking in the first place. That means maybe that s/c in the black market might be mines.
oh yeah the sarona roof spoiler should be coming in within the next few days and also the m3 trunk spoiler.
next will be the suspension.
