Welcome! Nice find, NBP is a sharp color. I love how it looks almost dark blueish under direct sunlight.

Like the poster above said, Nighthawk Black Pearl has lots of blue pearls in the paint so in direct light it is a dark blue color. At night or not in direct light it looks plain black.

I always wondered, does the early 2004-2006 TLs that have NAVI also have a back up camera?

I ask because I always try and look at the rear picture and could never spot the actual camera. On 07-08 models when I see a picture of the car from the rear I can easily see where the back-up camera is mounted, but I can't see them on the 04-06 that are equipped with navis

The owner of the car worked at this dealer I got it from. He knows a lot about TL and cars in general because he was a mechanic before doing sales and manager at dealership like this one. He told me that the 04-06 w/ Nav does not come with backup camera. Acura did not include backup camera till 07-08 model according to what he told me.

Ah ok that makes sense than. I knew for sure that the 07-08 had rear view cameras. Now I know why I couldn't ever see the back-up camera on the 04-06 models that had the navi.

At first I was looking for any of the white color one but found none so my next choice was the NBP. I was not disappointed at all when I saw her in person. Man she was attractive. I'm very please I got this color.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome.

Congrats Welcome to AZ! Check out the 3G garage for tons of info. Also register your TL at www.myacura.com in the USA or https://www.myacura.acura.ca/ in Canada. Save your Navi and Radio codes there. Check for any recalls your TL may need.
