Flat Black TL w/ Goodies For Sale Locally!

I saw this while on cars.com earlier. Looks to me like a flat black paint job, RJ Body Kit, ATLP Base Exhaust, rims, and painted calipers. Opinions?

Wow, how unique-very cool too. Love the paint job, for sure. I agree with Bobby-clear out the headlights and tint the windows. CL-you should pick it up.

It looks good but the owner should have totally murdered it out, then it would look better than good, it would look sick

Hopefully the new owner joins Acurazine and finishes it off

To me it looks like crap, flat black is not for the tl. wheels should have been black if anything, but even then i dont think flat black and the shiny exhaust tips match.
but then again in south florida we only like shiny cars, folks in CA like the flat black look.

I actually saw this exact car on a truck on the way to Greenville on Thursday afternoon...was on the way to the ECU football game. I can vouch that it is a sweet looking car. Everything is clean and looks well done.

Bet it was wrecked previously... Nobody in their right mind would just paint a 20k car flat black. That car would be valued at 23,500 with a regular paint job

It looks ok to me but I am not sure I would want it. Looks kinda like a work in progress and they ran out of money. There are a lot of sportbikes that have flat black paint schemes and they look pretty cool. I think the TL looks better shiny.

i was thinkin about doin this down the road. now that i see it, not so much... it's more that just the windows and headlights. The wheels need to be darker so it flows. it just seems like its all over the place

Does it have a Type S badge that's blacked out?!?!?!

Agreed...matte finish looks good on certain cars....and the TL ain't one of them.

Looks like a backyard primer job.

If it was wrecked and needed new bumpers than they may have.

I thought it looks nice than I came back and stared at it for a while and it looked like a TL just shitted and this popped out. I think the gloss just makes the TLs look sharper.

^^That is much better.
As others have said, that TL just ain't doing it right. Interior--ugh. Wheels---nice, but too shiny for the theme. Black out everything and drop it and I think it would be cool.
Somebody pick her up and finish her right.

someone can just buy that car part it out then sell it and make money. I dont get why people trade in cars with work unless it was repoed :-(. My friends rsx was repoed and t had 15k worth of work.

Looks too good to be paint, so I would guess wrap too. I'm not a huge fan of wrap because it can start to look shitty down the road but it's definitely less intensive than doing a decent flat black application.

I think I know where that dealer is. I will say, I'm not a huge fan. Not with the shiny and tan combination.

And 264 is one boring-ass road.
