Anyone have a pic of Aegean Blue in the sun?
It seems that the couple of pics I found were all done on cloudy days which makes the car look really dark. I've also seen 2 on the road, but it was at dusk, so they looked dark too. I like the way the blue looks in the brochure, but from what I've seen in person it looks different. Thanks in advance!!

The aegean blue looks nice. However in person and in daylight the car looks like a bright purplish blue, and real doesn't fit the car. It is very similar to the civic si and prelude blue. It looks nice on these cars, but not on mid size luxury car, but then again that is just my opinion!

I cant actually post a picture but I have a little story. I have been looking for TL-S's since the end of March and have only seen one. It was the aegean blue, and it looked amazing. It was a sunny day and despite what others say, I believe the car looked simply amazing.

Well I know one things for sure - I've gotten so many compliments on the color of my car, so I'd say most people like it.
To each his/her own...
P.S. I'm still debating whether or not to buy a digital camera. Taking pics of my car and posting it here is making me lean towards buying it!

I also get a lot of compliments on the color of my car (it's Aegean Blue, of course). I have pictures of it up at <a href="http://www.mccallion.com/TypeS/">http://www.mccallion.com/TypeS/</a> if anyone is interested in looking at them.

It's a local detail / tint shop called Bumper 2 Bumper. For those in Southern California, they are in Westlake Village on the Los Angeles / Ventura county border. The dealer that I bought the car from did not do window tinting, but it actually worked out for me because I really like the work that Bumper 2 Bumper did.
It's 20% on the rear 3, 50% on the front side windows. Non-metallic tint on the back window, which might not last as long but won't mess with the radio reception.

Those were cool pics. I just drove my new TL-S from the dealer TODAY! Heads were turning almost all the way home...or was it my imagination? I hope to take a photo tomorrow.
This site helped me decide to get the TL-S over the CL-S. Thanks!

Trippin,
Looks nice! I see a for sale sign in front of the house, I hope you didn't sell the house to get the TL-S

hehe, no way. I'm 18, so I still live with my parents who decided to sell this house to move to a new house a few miles away. And besides, do you know how many TL-S's I could buy with the proceeds from the house? I would probably have more TL-S's in my "fleet" than the dealership around here has sold since they came out, and I live in an area where they sell like hot cakes!

Hey trippin, thanks for the pictures, you just totally made up my mind... blue it is. Your car is awesome. I'm glad that the blue looks like that. It will be a little more work then my car is now, but totally worth it. Last night when I left work I only had 2 replies, now I have 15, and pictures!! Thanks a lot guys!!

Yup, I love the color. You won't regret it. I just need to get a duster so I can keep dust off of the car. You don't notice it from far away, but it bothers me to have a car that is even slightly dirty. This is my baby.

Heres my baby. Freshly tinted
Body Kit is in the mail, and alrm is going in next week(No ones gonna hurt my baby trying to jack my headlights!!!!!)
Ona side note, I meet some of my new neighbors today. I was pulling into my driveway, adn I had just backed into my garage when I noticed two people standing at the end of my driveway.
I asked them if I could help them and he asked me if my car was a 2002, adn how he had loved the color and really wanted to get one. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He only lives 3 houses over from me, but he was looking at the TL-P and didnt know that Aegean blue only came with the S. Hopefully he doesnt get one in the same exact color. Id rather he get the bimmer like in that other post

I got my Aegean Blue TL-S yesterday! I love it, except the dust is showing already. Maybe the dealer will wash it when I pick up my plates/reg.
Check out my two photos in the link...the blue really changes depending on how the sun hits it. The photos were taken at the same time, but from different angles. (Hope the link works)
