Anybody matte black wrapped their 4G?

Looking for pics of a matte black wrapped TL and a review of your personal feelings if you have done it. Also what can I expect for price?


Thanks in advance!

there could be some photoshoped pics of it matte wrapped but i dont think anyone would consider it, too classy of a car.

as for price, 2200 to 3k for the whole car.

Ive seen M3s, M5s and even some higher end Merc AMGs blacked out. Plus, this isnt my daily driver, just something to modify and have fun with. Ive got alot of plans for it, just wanted to see if its worth it

this place is more of a brotherhood/Cult than a forum, you'll find yourself spending atleast 3 hours a day, easy.

if you're gonna do it, do it a different color other than matte black.

I thought this picture was interesting. It has a CT Engineering sticker on the window. The hood was never opened to see what was under the hood, whether it be something simple as an intake or maybe even a supercharger. Sadly CT Engineering wasn't at the SEMA show so I wasn't able to ask.



Btw those are Rotiform wheels and their whole line-up is effing sick. I want to see more of these wheels on 4G TLs.

I didn't think those pictures look too bad-I've always been fascinated by that look. I wouldn't mind trying it on my Type S. But not at $3,000.


Actually, I'd like to have my car wrapped in Carbon Fiber. I think that would be better than matte Black.

I'm with Steven, I think done right it could look really cool (carbon fiber as well). There's a couple of well-received installers in Los Angeles, man I'm trying not to get too tempted and bring in my car. I do love my BPRII but I think matting it would also provide protection of the paint, assuming it doesn't harm it upon eventual removal of course!

I think the silver and a white would look awesome on the TL. Not sure about the black though?

If your talking about that siliver matte TL, its the OEM for the '12 TL. It won't fit the the 09-11 TLs, they have a slightly diffferent body lines.
