Do you have any other black gloss on your car, like side skirts and front lip? If not, it would look better painted to match your GT Silver car.

It does not look good. I wouldn't. Maybe if it was painted body color it would work.

I have a cabriolet so front camera only. I had the pre-wiring but the fitcam comes with a connection right from the mirror that you simply unplug and replug in so I didn’t need to do any wiring. The only complicating part is taking apart the mirror casing and stuffing all the wiring back in. Took me 45 minutes.

Count me as one vote in favor of the gloss black spoiler.

Also, added a Function First shift **** today.

I agree. My only black glossy bits are the rear grill area. I thought that black glossy spoiler lip would look good based on the Techart pic here, but not so much on my car.

The gear pattern is so broad horizontally on a 7 speed that it slightly alters the alignment. If If aligned perfectly on vertical axis in 3-4 or 5-6 axis, it is slightly askew in 1-2 or 7. It’s the breadth of the gate.

But, look at the numbers on the shifter. I guess BH does not like the # 7. Must be a 992.2 change ! Ha hah ha

Replaced my Function First Shift **** with a heritage 908/917/Carrera GT mahogony shift **** with truffle brown interior for something more unique and to break up the piano black.

Tough crowd…

The alignment is just the angle of the picture. Tried to get a more straight on shot below. No idea how you got the 7 to look like an 8 though

charcoal. The reflector still reflects red at night when hit by headlights too. Didn’t expect that using the darkest tint.
