I have a 07 Kinetic blue pearl TL-S and let me tell you somthing. No other color that the TL comes in, stands out or turns as many heads as the KBP does. My cousin has a NBP and my friend has a WDP. Theyre always telling me they wish they got the KBP cause it attracts alot of attention. But forget about gold, its whack. Either get KBP or WDP. Those are the two best choices. NBP is good, but belive me when i tell you a few hours after a car wash and the dust is going to show because its black. So take that into consideration also. Trust me KBP and WDP are the two best choices.

forgot to mention the reason why KBP in my opinion is the best color as far as attention is concerned is that it changes colors depending on the sunlight. Blue, Dark blue and purple all the while the pearls are shining.

RBP is not the same as KBP

Edit- my bad, I was thinking you were asking btw the Gold and KBP not RBP. Nonetheless, I still choose the blue.

If I had to choose between those colors I would choose blue. If it was my car I would go with NBP or WDP. I noticed that you said that you are getting license and that your dad had an account, so you should change the settings to the account so it can be yours.

WDP all the way. Second choice NBP if you like to spend alot of time cleaning and have

a garage to wax it in. Blue is nice, but WDP or NBP is what I SUGGEST. IMO...IMO........

just somthing i picked up to assist my point about the KBP being the one out of the bunch which gets the most attention and turns the most heads.

In addition to what is already found on the 2007 TL, the all-new 2007 TL Type-S adds several features. The high performance powertrain and sport tuned suspension are paired with a choice of a 5-speed automatic or six speed manual transmission. Exclusive Type-S black chrome front fascia, headlight and taillight design and 10-spoke alloy wheels in Dark Euro Silver give the vehicle a sinister appearance. On the interior, the Type-S features carbon fiber and chrome interior trim, a standard Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition(TM) and rear view camera as well as AcuraLink(TM) satellite communication system with real-time traffic and Active Noise Cancellation.(TM)

Type-S also comes in an exclusive exterior color: KINETIC BLUE PEARL!!!!

KBP is sharp, gold has a rich conservative look about it, but it hides dirt. NBP is outstanding. I have DGP which I love, but I don't think thats available for 08.

Nothing compares to a nice clean NBP, not even KBP. Gold is just boring.

For The People Say That Nbp Is The Best Choice. And What I Have To Say To That Is How Do You Feel When You Wash Your Car And You See The Dust Settling On It A Few Hours Later And Constantly Having To Wash It Again And Again. That To Me Would Cause Alot Of Frustration And Stress. And If You Have A Nbp Then Good For You. But You Know Better Than Anybody What Im Talking About. My Cousin Has A Nbp And Everytime I See Him All Hes Complaining About Is How Dirty His Car Is.

I agree. I have an NBP car. I wanted white, but the dealer sold it, then I wanted

blue @ another dealer but they wanted $1300 more then the dealer by me.

They wouldn't do a dealer trade/etc. I wasn't paying $1300 more to get blue.

I have NBP, and will probably be the last,,,AGAIN...White IS MY NEXT color

car...

Ok TLType-s12 we all know how much you love KBP...you've posted 4 times...

The OP said Blue or Gold...the TL-S doesn't come in a gold color so I guess He is looking at a TL-P which means RBP or Bold Beige Metallic which looks a lil' bit like Desper's color.

Lighter colors are easier to take care of. I've had a handful of dark cars that were PITA to take care of because of swirl marks or scratches. The Gold would be different than the rest...I really like it...just not as much as my White Diamond Pearl!
