Default cant make my mind up. Splitters.....

I really can't decide on the colour to paint it. Red (aka body colour) or black. Both IMHO look pretty good, but for different reasons.

I nicked these pics from others to illustrate the point. (kudos to the owners BTW!)

Wadda ya'll reckon?

Spray paint it flat black first. If you don't like it, it wasn't too expensive... plus, you'll end up having to respray it every now and then anyway as it really takes a beating from all kinds of flying debris.

knowing me, I'll end up doing it black, then, nahh, maybe red'd be better. Naah, black was cool. I just hate being indecisive. Or do I....?

I always liked the AIR splitters in body color. However, they do get beat up quite a bit so black is more practical because it hides the chips better.

Seriously, spray it black, the cans are cheap. Then try it on, and if you don't like it, then go for the red

I have a can of original Wurth black, and a can of guards red sitting in the garage waiting for the thing to arrive (3 days postage from 50 miles away!!!). I was hoping there may have been a definite split or at least a few good reasons to go one way or the other. The "it hits the floor" reason seems to be the best call for black so far, but my ears are still open........

WOW, I kept staring at that 2nd car thinking there is something wrong in this picture. I figured okay, its just the vented nose panel. I didn't even realize that there is no headlights!!

I'm planning on getting the same splitter and had the same question. After looking at both pics I'm leaning toward painting it black. It kinda balances the look w/ the stock black spoiler out back.
