Not digging that paint scheme, looks like a bunch of primered parts waiting for paint.

3m 1080 Wrap, in Gloss Black... We tried Cheap Vinal on Matt's for about 5 minutes and figured out that shit wasn't the right stuff... bought some actual wrap off ebay and it was so worth it...

Hmm. I'm considering wrapping my chrome trim with a matt black vinyl, but I don't want my car to be a black blob. Also the Palladium TL looks , random trim in flat black with the ultra bridge chrome trim clashes hard.

Use wrap not Vinyl, but why would you want to do Flat? The posts between the windows are Gloss black... Going with Gloss continues that framing and makes the rest of the trim match the center posts...

Yeah from Seller id: Autovinylsolutions, I actually got what I used for Xmas to do another project and ended up using it on the TL... Was going to wrap the wheels on my truck. Decided to do her car first. I've got a bit more than needed but he sells all kinda different sizes. Don't measure to small you'll want to cut the pieces about 4-5 inches wide and like two inches long so you have extra material to cut away.. The pieces on the roof will need to be either 2 or 3 pieces with a seam lay from rear to front so the seams overlay properly... Link to what I have http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-3M-GLOSS-Black-Vinyl-Car-Wrap-1080-Scotchprint-6ft-x-60-30-sq-ft-/400667489684?pt=Car_Audio_Video&hash=item5d49a4b594&vxp=mtr

I asked him and he told me the roof is vinyl wrapped. He didn't remember what percent tint he got because it was a couple years ago. But, he went with a lightest tint so cops wouldn't hassle him.

I'm tempted to use flat instead of gloss because it'll create a mild contrast; my TL is CBP. BuddyTL used flat and I love his look. And thanks, I wasn't aware there's a difference between the two.

Yep tuner lugs. Aftermarket wheels are usually acorn and oem are ball. May not be the case for all though
