I turn heads everywhere I go, whether its my always clean NBP, the hott looking DUBs, or me
I think MRP would be second, and then KBP.

Back to my question. WHICH COLOR THAT THE TLS COMES IN GETS THE MOST ATTENTION!!!?? if you think that NBP gets more attention than the KBP does then like I said......TAKE ANOTHER LOOK!
NBP is sporty, flashy, and classy and it's forever, not a gimmick. And hell yes it turns heads when I go down the block - even if I go down YOUR block! So don't get it twisted. Your color is merely "brighter", so that's why. If that makes you feel good - ok. But to me, to use a football analogy: A trick play by a team gets the crowd roaring for a play, but the team that is dominant on both sides of the ball for the "game" - is the best!
NBP IS DOMINANT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL!!!

Man, NBP dominates this forum and the streets! It is clearly the crowd favorite. Our (NBP & KBP) may BOTH make people look...but mine makes people BUY!
Look around bro! We got this!!

Don't get me wrong. I love black cars, and my previous one was a black. Black is still my favourite car colour although I didn't get one. I think with my previous car, I spent way too much time washing and detailing it rather than enjoying the ride.

I don't care what color you buy, if it's that dirty, it ain't gonna look so hot. That's real.

White makes this car look like a completely different vehicle that people think is twice as epensive. You can see all the curves and details of the car and it is the most noticeable at all times of the day or night. NBP and WDP pass you at night, the black is just another dark shape, but the white turns your head as it goes by. Thats how I decided on white. I was deciding on colors at night and the white simply stood out from all the other colors. Blue (kbp) is also fairly noticeable, but in a bad way imo...I cant help but think of all those blue wrx's and it makes me think rice.
White has the added benefit of being one of the safer colors because people notice white more whereas they tune out silver and the darker colors. The problem with white is that it has made me semi obssessive with keeping it glistening clean.

Whenever I cross the American customs with my WDP TL, they would ask questions like "do you own the car" or "how did you pay for it", but they would never ask these questions if I drove my dad's Lexus RX400h.
This makes me think people who are clueless about cars will believe my WDP TL is a super expensive car, even more expensive than a RX450h. And my belief is quite true. My friends who are clueless about cars think my car is super expensive. They are always surprised when I told them the price.

Yeah, to each his own, but I turn heads washed or not! Night or day! Spring, Summer, Winter, or Fall!!
For the people in the back: For the record - STELLA HAS NEVER BEEN DETAILED! And she kicks ANUS!! She was kicking ass on here damn near stock! So go ahead with that "detailed" stuff. She is going to get detailed next Monday tho, for the first time. So that gleam you see now, is good old-fashioned N-B-P!!!

For the TL, I personally think the KBP is the most unique colour, and I would definitely turn my head if I see one.
As for WDP, NBP, and ASM, there are just way too many out there on the street to make my head turn, unless it's a CLEAN and DETAILED NBP.

to leedoggWDP is by far the most attention grabbing at night, and probably the nicest color at night. NBP on the other hand by far looks the worst when dirty.

But sitting side by side, with no A-spec - a stock WDP can't touch a stock NBP with both washed and wheels dressed! That's a fact Jack! The WDP looks downright ugly plain, and has that two-toned rear that takes it out of any comparison test IMO. Why you think people go so far to "jazz" them up?

Easy there my friend. We all know you are the President, CEO and Chief Cheerleader of the NBP Fan Club and understand your enthusiasm. Heck, you've made the promotion of NBP a fine art.
But it's a bit harsh when you tell all the WDP owner's (me included) that their cars are "downright ugly."
I don't think even you believe that. You know at the end of the day, it's really about personal preference and "best" becomes something that can't be defined by one person's opinion.
BTW - I agree. KBP is more of a "head turner" because it's so different; Not nedessarly in bad way. But it sure does stand out in a crowd.

Maybe "downright ugly" was extreme...hope I didn't offend, I didn't mean to say it's ugly...how about it just doesn't look right plain?
A lot of the other colors don't either. (look good "plain")There are some very nice looking WDP's on here, so no, that's not what I meant. Thanks for grounding me on that one Bear!

B4 the thread explodes....
Seriously, not a lot of cars can pull off these two colors well - black and white. I say they both winners alongside KBP. The trophy goes to whichever shows the best in its ideal condition or environment.
Of course, I will give CBP the all-audience handsome award.

FYI: If you did anything to your ride (WDP'ers)...this doesn't include you! Which is probably everyone of you WDP owners on AZ becuz you trying to catch up with NBP so you HAVE to mod it, thereby excluding yourselves from the list! Hahahahaha!

IMHO, nothing stands out like a clean, shiny NBP --- ESPECIALLY at night. Why? Everything reflects off of it... you can practically see yourself in the shine.
With that said, my next vehicle (if it's an Acura) will be WDP or KBP. I'm tired of the upkeep on my black whips (TSX and MDX - both black on black) --- and I've had a few, although it *is* a labor of love
As far as the TL-S, in terms of my preference, I'd say WDP, followed EVER so closely by NBP and KBP (tied). WDP looks so "sophisticated", and I really think that's where the whole VIP scene will be going (i.e. away from black). The KBP is so "sporty", and I think it draws attention in a positive way. The whole smoked out theme is perfect for NBP --- I just don't want to spend all my freetime waxing and wiping down.
The funny thing? I say this now --- and at the end of the day, I'll quite possible end up with a NBP LOL. Just when I think I got away??? They...pull...me...back...in...

Beautiful In A More Luxury Than Sport Way...
CBP gets lots of attention but mostly from other luxury vehicle owners , because you simply cant deny its beauty and presence.

07 TL-S
My 06 NBP TL got a lot of looks, but then again it had some very nice 19s on it and I kept the car clean.
My 07 KBP Type-S gets plenty of looks as well, especially from other TL owners. I think they are both great colors.
I would think the red TL-S would get a lot of looks too. I've never seen on the road

KBP makes my head turn
I love my SSM, but its far from a head turner......but I don't really think that its just the color that turns heads. If the KBP was a standard color from 04 it wouldn't be too exciting anymore. I think the small touchs like rims, suspension and such that make me break my neck......no stock TL will ever make me look..

Kbp
I have to agree that there are too many TL's in the NBP,WDP and ASM. Almost everybody has that color............but not the KBP (which looks the best BTW) only two in Tallahassee and I have one of them.
