Roof spoiler. Black or CF?
 

ok so i have an RE-Amemiya roof spoiler that i just havent gotten around to putting on. i wanted some opinions on what i should do. its currently carbon fiber but i was thinking of painting over it in black. i dont have any other cf accents on my car.

its not worth painting imo. its already dark. if you install it and then you dont like it, paint it.

its always easier to go from unpainted to painted than the reverse.

I would paint it, but it wouldn't hurt testing how it looks on the car as cf.

or you can sell it to me and buy a fiberglass one... lol

no. its mine:p: i actually paid for a fiberglass one and got a cf on accident

Screw CF and black; I vote for rainbow.

what color is your car?

Do you have now or do you plan on having other CF parts on the car? If so, I say stay CF. Other wise, paint it black (I hear a Rolling Stones song in my head).

when i saw you said you had no other CF i selected paint it, cuz you want consistency not just one random ccarbon part...

I would leave it CF, it's a very subtle mod so it won't look out of place like a big CF lip or something.

im gonna take some temp pics tonight maybe

It would look real nice on my car! haha

=O i didn't know that this existed.. might consider purchasing it

if your car is white go with CF! it won't stand out too much regardless if you have other CF parts or not but its a nice subtle exterior mod =]

danggg.. on the reamemiya website it lists the CF as 33,600 yen and on japanparts.com it's 38,900 yen... so its gonna be around 400 USD shipped i'm assuming?

how much did you purchase it for if you dont mind telling? =]

yeah try it on and if you don't like I'll take it(guess im third in line) but I've got alot of Carbon trim pieces and more to come,,,:eyetwitch and the RE Amemyia is one of them, but only if its authentic, not the EVO-R replica,,,

I have the CF RE spoiler, i put it on my car and didnt like it CF, so i had his ass painted WWP to match my car...

Unpainted CF is just too played out now.

i would say paint it, but like many others have said it wouldnt hurt to try as carbon fiber

I just put on my in plain wave carbon fiber

Paint body color.

Have some of both...... tint it.

old thread, but the OP's car is black, i don't think tint will do much. haha, but it would be sick on any other color.

pink.

^we needa see pics of it on your car first.

Paint to match your car, anything else will look completely terrible, like an 3 foot spoiler on a Lumina.

Where would be the cheapest place to get this item though?
