+1 on KBP. Or the blue offered on the Lexus ISF. Those are the two hottest shades of blue I've seen on cars.

Right now its kbp, i am just trying to make it my own, i replaced my grey seats with black, and now im doing some tweeking on the outside...
I like the color now, but i would like something more vibrant, but not to bright...The hubbys bike is Cobalt and its only a shade or two lighter than abp.I am not wanting to get into paint the jambs and stuff.
And i am getting it done dirt cheap!! not macco cheap ( which is whats on the car now...yuck), but its cheap, ive seen the guys work and its GOOD!

Still wanting to hear opinions though, i dont wanna ugly car..

Thanks guys! I will be posting before and after pics by the end of next week....i hope....

KBP is my fav, but i think imma stick to something much closer to the orginal to keep my costs down.

still between abp or the deep cobalt..

Does anyone know what the difference is between abp & rbp? Is there any? I cant tell from the internet pics, and I dont see any blue tl's in my area.... white or silver here!

I really want to show you the transformation, but all my pictures keep disappering off my computer. The color i got is not what I thought I was getting, it is what i chose ( made the mistake of not going outside to look at the swatches)..., but it has been a happy accident, cause I LOVE IT!
And I hope yall do too...
I guess i will try to save them to another computer and upload them there...
