Looks good, shouldnt have gotten the area where foglights should be painted though. They would look better black, unless you ar putting fogs there

i will never understand how any decent painter would paint the grille and vents in the front like that.. they clearly arent painted beforehand, so why not take the time and not be a lazy ass and tape them off?

definitely needs some better pics though..

i know i know

i need better pictures. ill get my friends dslr and take some day time and night time pictures.. as for the place where the fogs go... those are getting cut anyways i got a little idea for those thats why they werent masked. and the middle air vents? youre trippin i think they look good white but honestly i was thinking i might mesh that out as soon as i mesh and 'H' the grille. the chrome trim that goes aroudn the door is in sitting in the car.. half the clips broke while taking it off so I have to go buy them from acura. those rims have to go theyre pokin too bad up front believe me I know.. gonna go 8.5/9.5 with the right offsets and some stretch n camber why did I have to find this website? my pockets hurt

I just don't frigin get it...

Why spend all that money to have the entire car repainted, and have it done in White??? A color that is EVERYWHERE on the road. I know I know, it's White "Pearl." Doesn't matter. Fact is, it still looks like every other white car on the road. If you're gonna spend the $$$ to have a car repainted, at least paint it a color that is unique and going to stand out.

because thats the color i wanted the car to be. when you get your paintjob you can get something as unique as you want ok? and by the way as far as unique goes its a house of kolor paintjob with the best primer, paint, pearls, and clear money can buy. pretty unique for a 2nd gen TL if you ask me

^...what?

ASASN21 - a car does not have to have an over-attention grabbing paint color to look good. White is "EVERYWHERE on the road" because its a good color, obviously popular for a reason. Since its everywhere on the road, what would you have it painted? Leopard print? Not every color is going to look good on a 2nd gen TL, you definitely don't want to paint it some high-end exotic color off a Ferrari or Aston Martin, it just won't look right. He painted it the color he wanted, and enjoys it.

as for house of kolor being the best money can buy that's definitely not true. Repainting your car with a specific brand of paint (and having it painted incorrectly at that, ie: fog pockets) does not make your car that unique.

Not trying to be a downer, just don't let a paintjob swell your head 'coz its a specific brand. I definitely think it looks like a quality job from the pics and is very shiny, I like it (minus the pockets and lower air-dam). Good job
