What you've done to black out the car is great - however it would probably look a lot better if the car was ..... black. Looks odd.

Looks like someone that desperately wants a black car and just ran out of steam before completely finishing the transformation.

Why is it that 90% of the DGP TL's on this site end up looking like this?

Makes me sad........really takes away from the color of the car.

Should lose or change the blacked-out emblems, tints on headlight and taillights, injen sticker, seats, and body side molding.

Nice job on the Di-Noc, but I love carbon fiber. The nose and license plate work look good too.

not bad i think a drop would set it off better and complete the look of a "stealth car"

i would ditch the front headlight tint for sure as its way too dark lookin.. just clear the side markers in it.

everyone has there own style and look they are going for on there car and thats what it is all about ... if we all rolled up in cars with the same rims, drop, exhaust, tint and so on then when we saw each other at meets what would we look at??

Seeing as this is the most easiest/cheapest style, I can see your scenario happening.

"Oh cool, look at all these stealth TL's"

It seems like everyone on the road has tinted tail lights. Personally it doesn't look good, you can tell that they all use the spray on tint. And for the interior, first of all you don't have black interior you have grey. you Di-noc'd the silver trim which adds a contrast to the dash. You gotta think in moderation.

As always if you like it, that's all that matter right.

People just have bad taste.
Some colors can pull of the stealth look and some cant.
My opinion is to get a woman with style to look over your color scheme. if she says HELL NO....then we all know how that person dresses. (in the dark)

This is the only car IMO that can successfully pull off the "Stealth" look...

The difference between the OP's car and this beside the obvious points, it is that on the lambo, everything is done very cleaning. They didn't cheap out and use duplicolor on the wheels.

my opinion to everyone who is starting out to mod the TL is to go in this order.

- remove the littlie pieces that make the car look worse such as door trim, mud flaps, etc.
- next mod should be drop on coilovers
- then aspec lip kit

- After you get those mods down ^ you are free to make your car unique and pick your own style, rims, tail lights, exhaust, etc..

The updated exterior pics look better, but it's still not really my taste. For me, there's too much of a contrast between the exterior color and the mods. Don't take this the wrong way since it's just an example... what's the difference between women's make-up and a clown's make-up? Contrast. When all of the colors flow smoothly from one to another, you're going to get a better result.
