Hey guys,

I'm looking for some ideas on how to add a little flash to my TL.

I'm not really a car guy and I don't want to spend a ton of money (no more than $2000), but I want something that will really make my car pop without going over the top. I was thinking about matte black or Carbon fiber wraps since I can get material at cost through my company, but I'm not sure a full body wrap on the TL is the best way to go based on some of the pictures I've seen. I think to make it work it would need aftermarket taillights or something similar?
My current setup is a 2010 TL Tech in Dark Grey with 19" wheels.

Anyways, any help is appreciated.

eww, on wrapping the car.


why not do a drop?
or wheels!

I'm happy with wheels.

And I was thinking a wrap just because I'm tired of hearing my car is an "old man" color, but don't want to splurge for a new paint job.

wrapping your car wont give you that POP.. it only makes you look cheap. get a oem lip kit, rims, or suspensions..

to me personally, lowering the car makes much more difference than anything you can do to a 4g tl at this point.. tein ss would do wonders to the look and will give you that aggressive POP

Changing your interior/exterior lighting would be an additional for cheap if you can install it yourself

Durdan, if you're looking for aesthetic mods, look at My Garage. Just click on the link, which is the name of my car in my signature. That will keep you busy.

Yeah man, you have to keep on. And dark grey isn't an old man color, its all in your head dood!

I think if the car was done up right a matte black wrap would look good.

The wrap only lasts a couple of years though...

I would black out the inside of your headlights, remove the amber and then paint your grille if you havent already done so.

Why would you wrap your car? Are you european or something? Get with it bro!

The tough part is working with my existing paint color. I've searched pretty thoroughly and haven't found any pics of anything that makes a real any significant improvements or flows particularity well with the Grigio Metallic.
