i feel like it makes the TL cheap when its on that piece behind the license plate. but good work though. i think a matte black TL would turn out looking pretty nice. ever consider doing the whole body? lol

I like it but I would've done the middle bar in the front grille and only the rear plate trim.

Did you remove the grill and rear plate holder to wrap or did you just wrap while installed? Thanks

This "primer/stealth" black is very hot right now. With the Type S wheel, I think it would look awesome.
