Yeah the color code is B504P

They have an example of it on the acura website.. something about an NSX or something lol...

Oh yeah... here's how dramatic the color change can be... blue one day, purple the next..

I believe it is the ultra rare, one year available spoiler for 1988 on Sport coupes.



That is one sweet shopping cart in that pic. If it were my shopping cart, I would put some 5" billet wheels on it. Very nice.


Your car looks great too.

mine is an acura color, not sure if it's an NSX color though
and yes it does look purple at times, something that's not a good thing, people joke around with me when it looks purple *lol*
