Let me pose a question... Does anyone make a kit that will dress the bottom 1/4 of the sides and bumpers of a TL? I have a black TL and was considering putting dark metallic grey sideskirting around the car - like a lexus (but not trying to look like a lexus). Any thoughts, ideas, or comments...

 

Tanner, where are you? Can you accomodate this request?

Done right, it should look classy. Check out my old Legend pictures below. That was a two-tone car.

Only problem is that the TL might not have the sharp transition in the bodywork to make it look right.

Maybe someone can photoshop it so you know what you're in for.

IMO, it won't look right.
To each his own.

That is a good idea. Anyone on here do photoshop work?

Don't see the picture. Also, Einstien is right, most of the panels blend together therefore not allowing a clean transition between colors. Maybe if there is a wide body kit that goes further for the TL, it maybe a possibility.

I was thinking the same thing!!! I am going to my parent's home in a couple of weeks and their neighbor, which is a friend of mine, owns a paint shop, so I am going to ask him if it would work.

OK, maybe not a bold as in the pic, but an anthracite gray metallic down below would look SWEEEET!!!

 

Ask and you shall receive.......

Looks kinda cheap too me, better just stick with the original look

 

Tanner the only reason that TL looks good is because its dropped, on C5's and a kit.

If you painted that car pink it'd still look pretty good.

 

Another thing to do is have it fade from the black to the gray, instead of being a sharp line of contrast. That would make it look a lot better (although I do lie it now too).
Just my $.02

 

How about just the underbody kit. I think that would look pretty sharp.

 

Thanks for the Photoshop pics guys! I agree with the guy above me, though, the grey should be darker to avoid a high contrast. Not bad, though...

 

I agree. Now there is too much contrast between the color on the top and the one on the bottom. If the bottom had been a metallic dark grey (in the picture above), it would have blended in a lot better. Similarly a light silver bottom in a white colored car (WDP), would achieve the same effects in a white car...

just my 2c

It is a decent way to make your car unique from everyone elses... it doesn't look half bad but I wouldn't do it to my car.

 

Tann , it's gotta be darker and the paint should be metallic. How about trying a Taffeta white with a light or medium silver bottom.

 

hmmm

 

That idea reminds me of our good friend the ES 300
