I would go with NBP. I think clean black cars look gorgeous and elegant, especially when tasefully modded.

And the mismatched paint/bumpers on a WDP TL would drive me absolutely crazy everytime I looked at it.

WDP because Black only looks better on new cars, but after 3 years, White and its ability to look good after 5, or even 7 years makes it superior in almost every respect to NBP.

Look at the average 3G TL on the street. They are starting to look a bit dated, because the paint loses its luster. That effect is magnified in Black. But see a WDP on a 3G, it keeps looking good with hardly any aging.

Never have even flirted with looking at another TL's color after getting my WDP.

Maybe I'm color blind but I don't notice the mismatched bumpers

mismatched rear bumper.. you can SLIGHTLY see it here... but in any case, it does take a very careful look and doesn't stand out too much.

umm you are showing a 07-08 bumper..... Try looking at a bumper that has been out there for a little while. My 04 was night and day on the mismatched paint. Although i loved WDP, the bumpers drove me nuts!

proper wash techniques and polishing/waxing the car can make NBP look as good as the day you got it from the dealer, if not better.

I had both. my WDP was such a nicer looking car IMO. like somebody said, especially the WDP paint contrasting with the TL-S Tails/TL-S Wheels.

Nothing shines like a brand new black car, but WDP is brighter.


I love WDP so much, im willing to deal with bumper mismatches

NBP- scratches, swirl marks are more noticable....

WDP- hard to match paint when modding, gets really dirty really fast...

I say it's all about the interior.... I personally would go for the best looking interior because I think both colors are beautiful (AM is the best though).....
