Yes I did, I wanted the front of the car to not look so pointy, and using the chrome silver vinyl covering the charcoal color makes the front of the car look taller. Looks much better in person.

I actually wrapped the roof in chrome vinyl, but I removed it. It looked really good but I wasn't happy with the vinyl quality.

About the pics, I only like certain angles so I guess my pics are a pain to look at lol.

Chrome sounds really weird - do you have pics? Have you ever considered gloss black wrap for the roof? I think it'd look dope on your car

The rims are Euromag EM10 19X8.5 19X9.5 Concaved.

I looked long and hard for rims, I wanted some I have not seen on every other TL. These are what I came up with lol.

I gotta admit I don't take as many pics of this car as my previous sports cars. I wanted something more luxury, but I am seriously missing the HP and speed. I might get rid of her already

I was thinking both ways. With a wrap I can get a much higher gloss finish. Im not a huge fan of matte colors on a car. They do have glossifier but it doesn't do much.


Also Dip isn't not a nice smooth finish, its sort of porous sort of like a chalk board.

Hey, i know I'm knew so hopefully this isnt completely useless: but theres a new dip high gloss topcoat that looks amazing from what ive seen. it seems just as glossy as regular OEM paint, and is said to feel as smooth as it as well. A lot cheaper and easier to mess with option than wrapping, so def look into it if you havent already. its called DYC dip pearl topcoat.
