if thats what you like, then

the TL is a pretty car from the factory. the current paint scheme is a little weird and makes the car not so pretty any more. its a little too busy for my taste.

Whoa. Different, but it reminds me of a skunk.

I applaud your effort though.

i think you should color match the rear spoiler to black, the front maybe paint it all the way down instead of leaving the white in the middle.

too flashy for me but your car. do what you want

Nice car, but to be honest I think it would look a lot cleaner if you just left the roof wrapped, and remove all the other vinyl. It is your car, so if you like it, then keep it as is. The tails look good!

coming from someone who loves carbon fiber vinyl...you did a nice job with it, but it's just too much.

car looks too busy and looks cheap IMO. i would just di-noc the roof if you have to di-noc something. the door handles are meh...Type-S decals on bumper are meh...

i would get the aspec kit installed as well. THAT, and your new suspension/wheels will set off the car in a positive way.

you want to draw attention to yourself, but in a good way.

The "Type S" stickers on the front bumper just kill it for me. No offense, but those are just awful. I think time and money could have been better spent elsewhere...

too busy for my taste. I like you are calm about comments and not going all ape shit. That's a good attitude to have.
I would remove that vinyl from everything except the roof, and that's a good coice of wheels to go with

Car looks cheap.

Advice/Suggestion - Remove vinyl from front lip kit, front bumper, hood, rear trunk and the car will already look 10x better.

You can keep the vinyl on the door handles if you want... but the vinyl on the front lip, bumper, hood, and rear trunk has got to go. Please?

I agree with this guy. I think the hood/roof/trunk look kinda cool actually, but the front lip needs to go back to white.

Edit: And the door handles. No.

I think its unique. What really matters is if you like it. Reminds me of the panda look i saw on a lot of WRX forums I used to be on.

I'm not much of a vinyl fan, but im definitely in the minority in this thread. Looks good to me, plus it's more original. Once you get done playing around with it you could just leave the roof wrapped if you like. I bet if your car was silver you'd get a totally different opinion from everyone.

Sorry man, you did ask for peoples opinions so im gonna give it....that car looks awful!!

The Type S is a gorgeous car stock, why ruin is by doing silly stuff to it like that? Basically if you un-do everything you did to that car it would be sooooo nice. A WDP Type S with aspec is sweet!!! Lose those headrest cover things too lol. I see them in there ;-)

Actually thats one thing I meant to say. The black roofs actually look very nice on the WDP TL's. I say peel everything off except the black roof and see how that looks.

I actually like that with exception to the "Type S" on the front bumper.

With regards to how it looks now, I dont like the vinyl on the hood and bumper but think the trunk looks OK... I think the trunk might look better if you vinyled the lip spoiler also.
