WDP owners in here

Does parking next to a white BMW or Lexus ever make you think you have an ugly cream colored TL?

No, can't say it does. On the other hand, I like the way our WHITE is compared to others like Ford, Chevy, etc.

Not at all. The pearl on the TL looks fantastic, however the other cars with pearl paint (eg Escalade) have the bumpers the same shade as the body unlike the TL.

WDP is purty, but Lexus' white paint is nicer. If my car ever needed a repaint, I'll be looking at that as an option.

I like WDP but like others have mentioned, the bumpers should match better. I do miss the white of my Acura Legend though...

this is what i'm talking about. Alpine white BMW's and Lexus White Pearl are much more rich than the TL white. i do like our color, but compared to those it's not as nice.

My A-spec underbody kit has helped with the appearance somewhat. To me, my dis-colored bumpers are not as noticable, as I'm looking at all the new flair instead.

WDP looks a bit creamish due to the pearl effect of it, it was meant to look like this. However Lexus mixes a bit of blue into the white to make it appear a whole lot whiter.

BMW's Alpina White is nice, but being a sold color is a downside, no metallic flake nor any pearl...

Either way, WDP on the TL looks great, in fact almost any color the TL comes in looks great on it!

I actually think the cream/pearly colors look nicer...more luxurious/expensive than just plain non metallic white.

To be very honest... When I park next to someone I never look at what kind of car it is. I look back at my car at least 3 times every time I walk away from it, and I never even glance at the cars next to it except to see if I'm parked within "door ding" range.

I love my car and everything it has done for me. I never sit and wonder if another car is better, because I just don't care about other cars. My TL is everything I need it to be.
