This definitely changed the look!

Just finished up some sticker work on my TL. I think that it makes the car look different than most. It's still a lot of change for me to get used to though.











I know I know, I need to get some wheels, lowered and also get the windows tinted. I think I will wait for spring for the wheels though.

hm not bad at all. It looks like it has potential; get the a-spec kit, and get the TL-S tails and side makers. If you can, black out headlights. then we're talkin

I like it! I think something should have been done with the spoiler tho. With an A-Spec kit it would look a lot better. Then slam it and either paint the wheels to match (the chrome looks nasty with the flat black) or get bigger ones in black.

i thought about doing something like this but i was told that doing any car in flat black would start to look bad after a while. My buddy that paints told me that you will start to see every imperfection, as well as oil marks and smudges that are almost imposible to fully get rid of. dons't look bad thou. Should have done the entire car and really murked it out.. with some black rims.

I would have done the silver piece above the license plate also. Looks sharp. Original thinker!

Well I would have had the black paint on the hood meet where the grill meets the hood. It looks wierd where it meets now.

I also don't think this is a mod that you should do first........wait till you've actually done a few things that this mod would enhance rather than

"oh shit I have a huge black strip on my stock car........"

Good concept, but doesn't flow with the lines of the car in the front IMO! Everyone to his own though.

I can't believe that that is a sticker. If it was me it would take some time to get use to, but I could def role with my car looking like that because then everyone knows whose car that belongs to. Good work !
