Photoshop Black OEM Spoiler
Anybody here good with Photoshop or equivalent? I'm wanting to get a black oem spoiler for my 8, but I can't decide between matte or "gloss".

That's why I want to see what it looks like before I actually buy one. I want to see if it's to my personal taste.

It doesn't show any albums. I see the signature, but that's it.

Don't worry about your personal taste, just listen to me. Just how some people should never dress themselves, some people should never choose aesthetic mods for cars.

I just don't want to f*** it up if it turns out that I don't like it.

That's the point of plastidip... it just peels off.

It'd go great with my carbon fiber wrapped but actually aluminium "Mazdaspeed" strut bar! Nah, I decided against getting a black spoiler......for now.

The authentic Mazdaspeed strut bar is real carbon fiber.

No but it could be painted.

This is mine. I got it mainly for the brace against the master brake cylinder.

A black OEM spoiler with another stock color will look terrible and IMO total waste of time and money. I'd say it would cheapen the car but the market for the 8 is crap.

Well the other one is an aluminum tube with a carbon fiber outer appearance wrap. Not much difference really.
