I love that about the car. It is not just a plain dull black.

I've had my NBP for about a month and just noticed this. Very nice.

All this time I thought my NBP(Night Blue Pearl) was blue. I'm gonna have to call up Acura and complain. I purchased a Blue car not a Black one. The dealer lied to me. J/K LOL
