looks closer to this than imola orange

kurbs

Nope... my boss has this car and i park next to him everyday BIG differnce... its closer to the 350z orange than anything else ive seen

M.I.N.O.

Wow, not bad! Props for being original!

It looks like the same orange color that was used on some Nissan/Infiniti models. The previous generation Maxima, 350Z and Infiniti FX models come to mind.

Good luck with the mods and keep us updated!

This car has lot of potential...minus tints orange emblems and those ugly tails....

I thought this thread was gonna be some joke at first, but after actually seeing an "Orange TL" I'm pleasantly surprised at how good it actually looks. can't wait to see it when you're all done with it.

nice pickup, and way to go on originality!

Looks good, If your going to do your headlights leave the amber reflectors, type s headlights would be ideal tho.

Dude, I like the orange "A" on the front grill-it breaks up all the black.

Take off the front license plate, if you don't need it (where you live).

OOOH. I've only seen it a few times on the road.

I don't like the orange "A" but I also don't like the blacked out "A" when the rest of the grill is blacked out. Sooo I really dunno what color the the "A" should be to look best . Shit. I'm stuck in a tur. Finishing up my 6 pack.

Not bad man, congrats. Keep up the good work. Also like others have said get rid of the blacked out tail and it would look 10x's better.

That color has a lot of potential. It looks great

Unique!

Definitely a cool color. Please lose those disgusting tails.

I'm with this guy. Those tails cheapen the look of the car.

Hmmm...Blaze Orange Metallic? I had an RSX in this color (if I'm right) and I miss the fk out of it. Great job!

And yes, there are suggestions etc...but overall it does look great, believe it or not, I thought you had the tail tint removed and thought 'good call".

kurbs

thanks man.. I didnt like the red.. but dont like the black either lol

Check out unique style racing...Simon is the guys name...they are a vendor on the site. He sells "ghost" tails and smoked looking tails on ebay or thru his store (google that name).

OR, send what you like to Ack05TL and have him customize your oem ones (or aftermarket ones). I get you on the removal of color...I'm doing something similar on mine. I'm super jelly of your color...I wish my TL was BOM.

I wonder if I'm right about the color. Better get that paint code while you still know the previous owner for touchups and repairs down the line!

Interesting...Bengals fan by any chance??

In looking at the pics again, this car might already be slightly lowered on springs or something...doesn't look stock height.

Also, what about having Ack open up the tails...smoke everything and paint the bezel to match the car? Then, you can also do a color matched bezel on the headlight. If done cleanly and right, this could work, I'm convinced. Then maybe get some good aftermarket wheels...but go silver/gunmetal or something to make it less "theme-ie" and get the orange lugs to match like you said.

This car has the potential to be the star 3G of this site, if done properly.

Disclaimer: some or all of my ideas might be overkill...was just thinking out loud but I think the painted bezels would look killer...someone with PS skills, hook it up!??!

kurbs

thanks guys

sparkleRed

I love the color minus the tails. What color is the interior?

Papayon

Looks good.....are you gonna keep those wheels or getting some aftermarket ones??

This is what I would do:
1> drop
2> aspec kit with the outlines painted black (see a WDP car and how the outlines of the ASPEC kit are painted black for contrast)
3> paint the front emblem back to UOP (Unique Orangle Pearl)
4> Vinyl your roof black
5> USR blacked out headlights and taillights and side markers

This is a very very different color and can be pulled off very well....car has potential

You know, with a color this unique, I'm not sure if I would take away from it by making the roof black.

I'm starting to really like this color!

mrconnecticut

wen it was first painted the roof was orange to. previous owner's friend kept telling him to do the black roof and he went back and did it

Smoked out tail light would look dope...diggin the color n set up

Nice color, I like it. Reminds me of the RSX orange.

Chessie724

I'd never rock that color, but gotta say it looks pretty well done. +1 on the tails and other subtle treatments that would class it back up a bit. Enjoy the mod process and keep us posted.

Did you buy that car from Gravel.

^^^Sorry to repost I didn' read the thread, if you know gravel do you know his cousins.

Looks a little orangey-er than BOM..

Not horrible.. not great. Might look better on a more aggressively styled TL
