haha. for now... They look pretty clean... took about a couple re-do's on sanding since i painted in the cold This is a really easy task. I DID IT MYSELF.. People thought i got it PC'd. No drips whatso-ever.. just gotta take your time. The hardest part was sanding(boy was it a pain the in the ass)

If you guys have any questions, feel free to ask me.

Enjoy the pics!

 

glossyy! you did a great job mang. wanna do mine haha. you should do the headlights too.

 

Nice work!! I was thinking of doing this to my OEM's as well with a mat finish. Then just for fun adding a red strip along the edge making it look like Volks Time Attacks..haha!!!

What tire size are you running??? They look like a much lower profile tire compare to OEM size.

 

damnn donald that looks hella clean.. haha wtf! u were completely stock not too long ago when i met you infront of my homies house and you went under the garage and was like "who owns that TL with the azsticker?!" clean homie..

fuck my life my leather will never be black =[

 

hes running the stock tires, i think the rim being black makes the tires look a lot thinner cause yeah those do look lowpro

oyeah ima be back this weekend. ill call ferry and let him know.. photoshoot?

 

love it!

i painted my wheels to a dark grey, but i need to redo it since i didnt sand it properly.

 

Looks sharp! I like the stance a lot.

 

clean as hell, nice

 

wow, that took me a second to realize they were stock. looks great

 

dayum in black they looked lik 19" for 1 quick second, def a good mod since the stocks are real durable

 

Looks great!

...did you use the duplicolor wheel paint?

 

Black on white FTW.

One thing though...paint the center caps. I got alot of comments about painting the center caps on my wheels. Looks much better rolling too

 

Looks great! Now teach me how to take night shots like that haha

 

tripod+slow shutter = night shots

 

i dont know, i kinda like the unpainted center caps, especially with the unpainted lugs. i know i have seen others like this with the painted center cap and i wasnt as big of a fan. either way they look great.

 

looks good!

 

I've been contemplating on doing this for awhile ...

Anybody have pictures of NBP w/ blacked out stock rims :- ].

 

Sharp man. Look Good!!

 

haha! Man, it took me almsot a whole week. I was on RSX-S wheels for a week. I'm scared of doing the headlights. My buddy said he did his 3-5 times to get it perfect.

LOL! My cousin actually told me to do that.. I'mma try the red strip... Does anyone know where i can buy the red strip at?? I'mma do it just for shits and giggles.

And yes, i am running OEM tires.. Currently has 38k on them, first set of tires also.

 

lol. thnx bro. Try to look for salvaged TL's with black interior and do an interior swap.. And i'm pretty down for a photoshoot, but it's Chinese New years on Thursday, and i think mom wants me to be home..

HAHA. This is coming from the guy that did his wheels black and inspired me to do it.. Ay bro, change your name to INPIRATEIN... Without you, I don't think i'd be doing such mods and going all out.. You are like, the dude to set the limit of the TL, and i admire that. Taking risks on wether the mod will work or not... Props to you Eric.

So anyways, to answer your question... I FIRST used Low Gloss Caliper paint, it looked REAL good, no lie.. It was like matte black, but too bad I only had 1 can of those, so for my 2nd coat i used the Semi-Gloss Caliper Paint from duplicolor...

 

Looks hot man. Dont know when I'll be able to do a photoshoot w/o the rear lip, lol.

 

O man. SO because I thought about your TL, I was like.. hmm, I remember st04Louis getting hella shit about his center caps.. should I do mine too? Well, I found another solution to that.. But I will need extra center caps just in case I don't like it.. I would Paint the SILVER part around the "A" black, and then paint the insides of the "A" Silver... I think it would look pretty clean and unique. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK??

 

u need to dump your car, yo, lol...

Check out the hawaiins threads

 

I never had the OEM 17's so ive never seen a center cap up close.
If the "A" is indented into the cap it would be too easy. Paint the whole thing black wait for all that to dry, then take a syringe and fill in the "A" with the silver paint.

Should look good.

 

looks real nice... for a minute I thought it some new shoes..a closer look then I saw it..nice work..

 

You never did suspension install but you manage to get that done so anything is possible. I'll be doing mine soon.

 

aiite.. hit me up when you do man. Would you happen to know how to install the EDFC???

 

quick question, is that an oem front lip? sorry new to TL's

 

yeah, its the a-spec front lip

 

Wow!! Great job man! Looks Great!!!

 

that car looked great until i saw the mufflers...

 

nice job donald
