Does anyone think Aegean Blue is an ugly color?

I love it but I personally don't think I will get it, I feel it is a color that is sort of trendy and in a few years people will say what the he11 were you thinking.
Reminds me of my 88 mustang, they made a color called electric blue that was similar, it was cool at the time but a few years later I looked at it and said I'm glad I went with black.
remember ABP fellas this is just my opinion not a shot at your ride

When I showed my dad the color I bought, he said are you crazy??
But the color grew on him. It's not your normal blue. You'll notice. It'll look like a slightly different shade of blue each time you look at it...

Nothing but compliments people staring, turning heads at traffic lights and people asking whats the name of the blue. One guy even trailed me I was scared at first but he wanted to know the color to paint his vehicle with it.

I have gotten nuthin but comments as well.
Plus I rarely see a bunch of other ABP rides on the road. Not like Silver that you see every ten minutes (no offense).
I went to the dealer the other day and they probable had 15 silver TLs on the lot.
I'd rather be a little original....I think the color is phat! My only gripe is that it doesnt hide scratches very well. Looks bad ass though when its clean on a sunny day IMO

Plus, if I'm not mistaken... it's the only other color that's exclusive to the TypeS model besided the new Noble Green Pearl. It's kind of like when you see a bright blue S4... you know it's an S4. Different car of course, but same idea. Plus, I fall in love with the car everytime I wash and wax it.... damn drought it messing with me though....
It's funny b/c there are 3 people at my job with the same color TypeS, however, once I leave the lot... I very rarely see another Aegean Blue... I love that...

I think the ABP is a hot color, i jus didn't wanna go with a dark color because of scratches and all. But as for Blues, i think the hottest blue out is this dark midnightnight blue w/ a pearl effect. i saw it on an Accord but i don't know if it's a Honda color or not

I did not like the ABP when I first saw it in pictures, but when I saw it in real life, it looked awesome! It seems to change shades at different angles and in different light. I think it looks sweet!

Hope to have the real deal on this weekend.
Initially when I ordered the car and saw it on the back of the dealerlot all dirty and covered in those plastic sheets I thought maybe i made a mistake, but when they pulled up with the car all nice and clean on the delivery date I knew I made the right choice. Never had a regret since. I ahve gotten complimenst from little kids to Grand ma's; I love it!!!
Apparently my neighbor did too. Flagged me down one day when I was driving by, and a few months after me he got an ABP also.

I think ABP is the best color for Acura TL. I wouldn't have bought my TL-S if the dealer did not have ABP. TL looks too plain in all other colors to me. Also this is a color that's not available on TL-P, so there is something other than that little S on the butt and the rims that differentiates TL-S from TL-P.

My parents didnt like the color when I got my car, but it made every other person on the road turn their head. Only thing is that it is a bisch when it comes to scratches........you'll see every single one, but I'm damn happy w/ my choice!!
ps: ABP TL-P's suck hairy goats a$$.......i agree- those damns rims ruin the look. I've been seeing alot of these fvckers around recently!! All I have to say is :thefinger

There are no Aegean Blue Pearl TL-P's. Those are actually Eternal Blue Pearl TL's you are seeing. The color is close especially at night, but in the day time you can definitely tell them apart.
