Anyone attempt a total blackout?
I was wondering if any of you black gen3 TL's have blacked out the entire car? Looking at these BMW's, it looks so evil and clean! Looking for that Midnight Crawler.

there's a company that says they already have angel eyes develope for the 3G TL, it's the same company that did the TSX angel eyes... they are just waiting for the customer to bring it to some show before they officially release it.

BTW, there's a thread over at the TSX forum regarding the angel eyes... a guy sent in his headlights to a shop in CA. Looks decent, but I think they're pretty ricey - 1. It's a signature BMW design, 2. Serves absolutely no purpose, 3. All the ricers have 'em on their civics, et al.

I attempted a Photoshop blackout on one of the members black TL's. This gives you some what an idea of what a black out would look like. I also colored the bottom white screens to a darker color to match. The first pic is with the original headlights and the second, I cleared them out in order to represent the BMW's.

Ok.. so i wanted to go ALL black.. I borrowed NY's 3 piece rims. 
Hope he doesnt mind either. Wheels are staggered of course! I also bumped up the size to 20's to close off that gap.

Nice photoshop skills. How about smoking the headlights as well!

lolBy the way, I smoked out the lights.. but it was too gray. The pic above was a total black out of the interior housing. Now you have a new idea to try out. The black matches better.

1. darkened grill (originally silver)
2. darkened meshed RJ bumber (originally white)
3. 20" 3 Piece Wheels
4. Nice clean drop
5. Blackened Headlight housing
Thats it. Not too bad. And maybe a Supercharger to compliment the evil look.

Iv'e already started to black out the car. It's gonna take a bit though. Already got the tailights and side markers blacked, now I gotta get the head lights and the windows tinted (20% All around) I'ma wait on the RJ kit till the summertime though. After all that though, I got somethin special planned for the inside...

The Tl is gonna lokk classy no matter what you do unless you go crazy like puttin some canards on it or paint it some outrageous color like doodoo brown or somethin. As long as you do everything with taste, the TL is always gonna have a pretty regal look about it.

Nothin can really make the TL look less classy unless you go paintin' it crazy colors like doodoo brown or puttin somethin on there that has absolutely no business on there kida like canards or crazy lookin decal/ designs. As long as it's tasteful you cant really go wrong...
