It looks like ABP..

If it's the same TL-S as the one as the pic to the left of it with the Inspire badging.. it has to be ABP cuz it's from Cali.. and there is only one Blue for the TL-S in the US..

Btw.. when did all these pictures and pages get added to the gallery?? Up to 10 now!!

I think it's darker than the one to the left. It's either black or some kind of dark blue.

The suspension looks lowered too and there appears to be a front spoiler but it could just be the photo angle.

There might be suspension, but definately no front spoiler..

It could be Eternal Blue.. but no black..

However, I believe it is the lighting that makes it look darker than it really is..

Maybe the owner will raise their hand and let us know..

My vote is for NBP. I think what you are seeing is the blue metallic flakes in the NBP paint. Occasionally my car appears blue in the correct type of lighting.

Thats Aegean Blue Pearl. The color changes a bit due to the pearl effect depending on what its like outside. That shot looks like it was taken in the evening.

Here is the original..


And here is the same pic with more contrast and brighness.. also enhanced the color saturation..

I didn't change any of the color.. I just made the color stand out more..
So, I really think it is ABP..

That car is gorgeous. I hope mine looks as good with the H&R's (and after a good wash/wax).
