I am about to purchase a '96 TL in dark green and I think goldplating would look great on it. Does anyone have any advice on where to take the car to get it done? Are detail shops too risky? I can't imagine that dealers do it themselves. Also, what have you gold plated? I think the gold-green contrast would look great but I don't want to look like a drug dealer or pimp.

Thanks.

 

Welcome,

Gold on Green isn't TOO bad, but check out this website for TL accessories. They ahve Gold Badges for us.

ehhhh, gold plating is OK. dont really like gold trim on cars. if anything, i prefer chrome. gold to me looks dull...dont ask me why, i just think it makes the car look dull. especially with a dark color car, i would have chrome so the emblems stand out just a tad bit from the green.

 

I usually don't like the goldplating but I think it looks good against green or maroon.

Thanks for the comments.

 

since u r getting dark color gold plating wouldn't look too bad.
I have a neighbor who's got green tl with gold badging and it looks pretty sharp
