I've been thinking about wrapping my car blue (currently black) and leaving the inner louvers gloss black.
+1. I think that would look better than the whole spoiler/panel black.

Yeah, I agree that someone should do whatever floats his boat. I just weighed in because having the whole panel blacked out looks to me like it's just unpainted, not intentionally blacked out. Sometimes you don't see something until another person points it out, so I wanted to throw that out there.

Doing the louvers and not the whole panel might look cool, but since there's no cut-line or trim around them, I'm not sure how you would do it.

I too vote no on the complete panel - looks like you forgot to mount the skin that matches the rest of the car. Louvers would probably look cool though.

I agree. Just the wing could look a little out of place. I like how JCGMS did the bumper guards and stone guards on the side to tie it in. I was thinking if I did my wing in black I'd also do the center portion of the roof.

Yes, the louvers would be a PITA! I was thinking of trying it with some knife-less tape. I've played around with it and it works pretty well.

Doing the slats would not look good as there are no natural cut lines. At least from 10 feet it would look goofy.

I always appreciate seeing what other people like doing to their vehicles. They may not be for me but the creativity and dedication is what really gets me and as long as they are happy with their changes I'm happy to look. do what makes you smile.
