As much as I like my Anthracite Metallic....every time I see these pics of a TL in Nighthawk Black Pearl it makes me think I should have gotten that color. I almost opted for the NBP but know what it's like to keep a black car looking good. But the AM is darker too so I have almost the same issue.

When newly washed and especially when detailed....there is not a finer looking color for a car than black.

White and Silver also look great...my last car, a VW Jetta GLX was Silver.

Your new TL looks great, especially with that Camel interior

thanks for the nice comments friends. appreciated.

my tsx was carbon grey which was super easy to keep clean... but i am not a fan of anthracite... too light for me.

i used a product called toughguard on my tsx and just bought a couple sets of it for the TL. I'll be applying it this weekend. should help immensely with the upkeep. ill post more pics once REALLY detailed...

Always nice to add another NBP member to the club. Your car looks just like mine except I went with the quartz interior

But I do agree with you flat black could look pretty slick

be careful with your camel interior leather. I heard from the salesperson that when they're worn and used, the creases shows up really well.
