so many have chimed in on my new spoiler that i figure i should take a poll to see what the majority says. i know, lame....humor me.

its a really bad photoshop, but i think you guys get the idea.

thanks

unpainted...



and "painted"

jnx

I vote to leave it black. It looks great with the contrast.

The real question is, how willing are you to repaint it EVERYTIME it gets a little road damage?

OCBen

If it's actually black primer on white plastic, same problem.

I think it would look great painted......

However i would Definitely have it wrapped in 3m clear bra plastic to protect it from any road-chips!!

RedRocket

its not black primer. its actually like alot of other plastic body parts that come from porsche. kind of a matte or flat black. how do i know its not white underneath?.....i already scratched it! ....not anywhere obvious though.

paint it...it looks nice black but better painted....my 2cnts

You left out an important poll option:

Ditch the lip altogether.

I'm leaning toward OCB. It's very heavy on the front and does not tie together with any side skirts or rear unit with equal balance.

But you are going to scrape it a bit. No question. If you want to leave the beast on (car looks good, don't get me wrong), I'd paint it, and be sure all lower trim on sides and back end would get painted too. Would make the car look lower and beefier if in fact there are some lower panels not painted Guards now.

Should be black, through and through.. If you paint it, try to find a CANNED paint the color very close to the car's. Being underneath, it does not need to match exactly because of shadowing. If you can find the canned paint, repainting is an easy, quck job. I do mine and it probably takes a total of a hour woring time and 3/4's of that is removal and installation.

You'll be surprised how many colored canned paints are out there and I am sure you can find one. Sure beats having to take it in and then have the paint shop screw up the color.

Agree with OCBen.

Don't mean to put you off RR. IMO the spoiler just wrecks the aesthetic balance of the car. Too much going on in the front.

malammik

+1 to ditch the lip. the car is off balance with it.

RedRocket

so....should i find some spraypaint that is close to the GR and do it myself? That way i can touch it up if it gets scratched....clearcoat afterwards? or....just go to the shop and have them do it?

You can spray over the paint with a a clear lacquer if you want.
