I dont see too many people talking about this color on the boards. Is this a bad color to get? I saw it and love it on the Type S. I have an 04 Black now and am ready to trade in for the Kinetic Blue. Very in your face color!

What are opinions on it? Is it difficult to get?

 

Its a kool looking color to me! But what should really matter is that you like it...Who cares what other people think! LOL! We al have our opinions...personally, being an owner of a NBP, as you are, i find it difficult to keep up with its paint maintainence. KBP should be less of a hassle hopefully...Love the NBP color thou!

 

I see a couple here and there. Its a nice color, It wouldnt be my choice because that color screams attention. But its truely up to you if you want it.

 

I really didn't like the color that much when I looked at the pics on the Acura site. When I went to dealer and saw all the cars lined up. I really liked the KBP and the more I drive the car the more I like my color selection. Look at all the colors side by side, Pick which ever you like best. Its not like there really is a bad looking color on this car.

 

It's that same (not exactly the same) color on the 02-04 Type S, the Aegean Blue Pearl. I wonder how much the 2 shades' differ?

 

Kinetic Blue Rocks....

Obviously get what you want. I am glad my wife talked me into the Kinetic Blue. I was thinking fof the carbon bronze, but my wife thought it was too boring

 

I love the Kinectic Blue....wish they had it for the 05.

 

I love the kinetic blue! When we got out Type-S the dealer had silver, bronze, black and the kinetic all side by side. The blue really jumps out at you, like someone said if you want attention then get it. My wife nixed it for us, though, said any of the other three were ok but she didn't want that bright. Personally I would want to go with some chrome rims vs. the dark on the Type-S, I think that would look great against that color.

 

Its a great color but lighter than the previous gen Agean Blue Pearl, if I would buy a Type S I would go for the KBP

 

i love my kbp more and more everyday... the color grows on you fast!

 

Its a great color, it is a bit eye catching though. I liken it to a bright yellow, colors like this grab a lot of attention. It is somewhat similar to Aegean Blue Pearl, and I like both colors but ABP was a nicer color IMO.

 

It's most definetly a head turner. I haven't seen one physically around my area but judging by the pictures..it's a sick color...I may be bias but i kinda like blue so yea haha... GET IT!

 

I will post pics of my Kinetic Blue tonight as it finally has stopped raining here in Jersey. The color is unlike any other and those people on here who are saying it's a lot like that Aegean Blue from the 2nd generation (with all due respect) have no clue because this color really is way different. I agree with RedHott411 in that the color doesn't look so hot on the website and most pictures on the net won't do it any justice but when you see it in person, you can't help but to fall in love. It's a blue you can't describe in words and supposedly it's an exclusive color just for this year and may never be back.

Also, my friend got a NBP at the same time as me and while they stood side by side in the parking lot today, all of our friends agreed that although the black is sweet as hell, it almost just becomes another car on the road while the KBP screams electric! KBP all the way if you ask me.

 

I'm biased cause I have one but I really like it. I went to the dealer looking for silver but when I saw the blue, couldn't keep my eyes off it. I think because the Type S has the grayish wheels, they look best with red, blue or black. Color does not look good on Acura website but better in person. I'm still not exactly sold on the wheels though. They look a little too ricer for me.... I kind of like the standard wheels better.

 

ive got a 2nd gen abp... i am a fanatic with keeping the car clean, but i have to say even when it gets dirty at times... it still shines in the sun haha... since its a similar blue (def not exactly the same though) as abp it should be a huge relief on upkeep coming from nbp ... go for it... i get compliments all the time for my color choice... you'll stand out a lot with that especially since you dont see the 07 type s too often... i dont know where you're from but if its a not so nice area for vandalism and theft i wouldnt get a color that stands out so much thats the only negative... but you wont regret it if u go with blue... me being a huge nbp fan i chose abp and still dont regret the decision. kbp should be no diff.

 

i had the 02 type s Aegean blue pearl, so kbp wasnt really a color i wanted. I have to say though its a great looking color. I went with nbp this time around for a change.

 

I like the Blue, but like the Red better. They didn't offer red w/blk when I got my '06.

 

Seeing too many of those blue WRX's have killed that color for me.

 

I love my Kinetic Blue! It is such an attention getter! I like black but after years of having black suv's it such a pain in the ass to keep it looking good especially after 5 yrs.

I think the blue is ok, but it won't be later on when the novelty wears off...to each his own...Im a NBP man for life!!

 

NBP and blue are both nice...pick what YOU like

 

i say go with what you like

i like the kbp. i have a 99 mbp (dark blue) and i think i'm sold on the kbp when i upgrade to the 3G.

 

KBP rule

 

I think any color with a new 07 TL-S with the body kit and nice 19" wheels/tires look great Tint the windows and lower if you like Wash her up nice, clean the windows in & out, soak the tires, there you go! An awesome lookin sweet ride

 

please

Ok here's a link to the first pic my KBP

 

Just put the image location in between the tags

 

GOLD!!

 

I meant Gold is the only bad color.

 

i agree. it's a really sweet color. but can you imagine waking up every morning to a bright-ish blue car? i think there are some days i wouldn't like it.

 

 

If you buy an 07 TL-S Gold(Desert Mist Metallic) isn't offered on it. But I agree if you buy a base 07 TL. Gold DMM is am old mans color

 

KBP is nice, but those wheels don't look good on it But what color do those wheels look good on Maybe ASM and NBP. I have ASM and can't wait to get some new 19's that look BETTER

 

azeemdadream, I wouldn't mind waking up rain or shine and see the blue TLS. The color is sick and it will never wear off. I had a black 2nd gen TLS and it is a great "safe" color. If I can do it over again, I would get the blue for sure.

 

TypeSdragon .....thanks bud, I had a grey/black TLS before this (03) and although it was nice, it was way too dull compared to this beast.

 

Why do all the pics on line make the Kinetic Blue look much lighter and brighter then in person? ALL the pics I see online look great! I have looked at it in person many times at diff dealers and it looks so much darker? I don't like it as much in person?

 

JD-TLS, I can tell you that all the pics I've seen online except for a select few posted by members here have done no justice to KBP, especially the pics on ACURA.COM. My pics are probably the most accurate color wise to how the color looks in person.

 

I think KBP is a great color for the TL-S. More suitable for say an NSX but to each his own. I've seen it in person and yeah the pics are pretty accurate but its a very eye-catching color, still different from the pics. I mean the general shade of blue is there, but its a lot shinier. I'm just guessing that the dealership got it detailed pretty damn good because its what they have on the pedestal, and you took those pics with a point-and-shoot or decent camera phone and not a DSLR.

I'm really picky with car colors and I think the new DMM is a gross color. Reminds me of 90% of all 1992-2002 Camrys. They're all that flesh-looking color. Whats peculiar to me is I have a 95 Integra which is DMM and its a great color, nothing like the new DMM, its actually a brownish-silver color.

 

I Go To Costco;

Yes it's true that the color is still shinier in person and it's also true that I used a point and shoot camera but I am offended that you said "or a decent camera phone". LoL, I must be pretty horrible at taking pictures because I'm using a nice Canon S70 (7.1 MP). DSLR are too much for me since I'm not hardcore about pics.
