Yours is the first TL that I've seen with pinstripes, not to knock but I think I would take them off.

wow looks hot....however,I hope i'm wrong but does the rear bumper have been re-painted or so ? I hope its the way the camera took it....it seems the bumper has a lighter shade than the body....
P.S. I like the interior color combo

This is the same combo color I have...I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would have to also agree with a previous poster, I'd take the pinstripes off too...it cleans the lines of the car up alot IMHO. Either way, enjoy and welcome to the forum.

Nice clean car, same interior as mine! Actually my ABP paint seems to match very well. There is a really old guy here that has the crease painted or pinstripped red over either silver or WDP.

WDP is the worst for the color matching and black is the best. I have a WDP and it drives me nuts when I see the bumpers mismatched.

When i bought this car and saw the pictures i noticed that the bumper was mismatched and like the first guy that noticed.. I was thinking maybe it was a camera angle blah blah blah.. and forgot about it.. theni posted pics and looked at it and i didnt notice it again until it was brought up again!! So needless to say it kinda bumbed me out some.. So when i was driving home from work i saw a WDP TL drive by so i looked and swore the bumper was a tad off... So you guys confirmed it for me.. Thanks alot.. I carfaxed my car and the guy told me it was in NO accidents!! so i believed him!! As for the pin strips.. im not sure if i like them of not.. i know i love the interior.. The accents of carbon fiber or pretty cool as well...!!!! Thanks for all the compliments as well!!!
