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.

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).

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.

=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? =]

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

Unpainted CF is just too played out now.

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?
