Because it's a crime to not have a NBP thread when it's the best looking color, I'll start.
And before anyone says it, I'm not losing the bra. I know it looks better without it, but I refuse to have a chipped up front end.

 

chips may look better than a bra

 

Why not get a clear bra? It's practically invisible and it prevents chips.

 

you need some 40% tint

 

 

I've thought about it. It someone posts a good place in Columbus that does it, I'll consider it, but it isn't a priority right now. I don't drive the TL when it rains, so the bra isn't that much of a pain.

 

You should design a leather bra for your entire car. That way you'll never be susceptible to chips. Your car would look so S&M!
I would add my car but it looks just like yours, minus the bra. Is it 04 or 05?

 

I wish someone here sold the HO ceramic. My only choices were (Llumar premium dyed) 50%, 35%, 15%, and 5%.
Metallic (Llumar stealth) was available in 50%, 38%, 30%, 18%, and 5%.

 

'05

 

oops, sorry, i saw the top pic posted and did not see the tint, but the other pics do have tint. it's looks very cool with the tint you have. 50-35 works well on NBP.

cheers

 

No problem. Same tint in all three pictures, just different angles and lighting. Thanks.

 

 

sorry for big pic....bra really bothers me...sorry..

 

Hey Folks, new to the news group. Looking at buying a 2005 TL with rear wing in Nighthawk black, but am unsure about interior color. Seems like the predominant color is Parchment. Any thoughts on Camel. First impression is that seems a little loud for this color car.

Thanks....

 

Go with Parchment. That's what I have on my NBP. It's an awesome contrast. Camel looks orange. Orange on black? Your car will like it's ready for Halloween.

 

Fuck that....

Black on Black is the only way to go... (a little biased - I know...)

Salut

 

Thanks to all. I appreciate the feedback. I'm REALLY looking forward to joining the TL community. It seems like an awsome car!

 

This one is pretty old but tells all about NBP.

 

Love this color!!!!!!!

 

Thanks, it is a beautiful car you've got there.

 

With the Bra, you're just trading chips for scratches. I did the black car with a bra thing before. Just my

 

Yeah, I don't have a bra for the TL yet, but I only use the bra on my RX-7 when I am going on long (over 100 miles) trips, after I have cleaned it thoroughly (to prevent scratching), and if the weather calls for no rain. Otherwise, I just try and not drive to closely to big semis.

One note on the black/parchment: It definitely looks the best (that's what I have), but it is also the two hardest colors to keep clean! Dark exterior and light interior = always dirty.

 

Switched to Chrome OEM wheels...I think they look a lot better on the NBP.

Here are a few pics of the 2005 18" hyperblacks added to my othewise stock '04 NBP. I'll keep the stock 17's for occasional change-outs to add some variety.

pics linked in my sig.

 

So many people complained about the bra that I took some pictures without it when I was washing and Zainoing it today. I have to admit, it does look a lot better without it.

 

Here is my ride waiting on the Axis Milano rims.

 

 

 

I think I will add to the mix



Just need a-spec body kit or Rons. Just waiting to see his painted on the car.

 

Great combo!! Have you met many TL owners here in Columbus?

I went to Mr. Tint and he was able to tint that back corner window to the edge. Quality said the same thing to me.. that they couldn't do it.

 

heres my 05
