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".

I was hoping someone here can do quick Photoshop of my 8 with a black oem spoiler before I buy one.

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.

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.
