Unpainted front spoiler and rear lip
I just wanted to get some opinions on the forum. I love the front spoiler painted, but realistically I'm going to destroy it driving around here. Which colors, if any, really "need" the front spoiler and rear apron painted? If the car is carrara white, will it look bad to have the skirts painted but the front and rear left black? Would painting just the skirts and rear apron look unbalanced?

I think it would look a little awkward if you only have the front and not the rear apron painted (or vice versa). White looks great without having the aprons painted IMHO. Just look at the white GT3 and you'll know what I mean.

I agree with most here - I just picked up my CW TT (wil post pics this weekend) w/o any of the lower panels painted and I like the uniform look. Doing just one piece would not look right. I also see ripping the thing off periodically and not having to get it painted saves time and I worry less.

The GT3 has only the sides done - front and back are black. I think any color benefits from having the sides done. have it filmed if you're concerned. The front is a personal decision. It will get scraped but only costs $200 or so. Mine is black and is scraped but it's only scraped on the bottom of the lip.
Here's a pic of a white with just the sides done. I think it looks great. the back area is so small and tough to see I don't think it will look unbalanced at all if you don't want to do that.

I had also experienced some white smoke upon start up that morning and they said it's normal.

ask yourself which you can live with, a scratched up cw lip or the plain black lip. the painted replacement might get real old. eclou's solution might be a good compromise. I hve 1k on the car and the lip is in bad shape.
