Default GT500 Spoiler- Opinion Needed

So I've pretty much decided that my next mod will be a GT500 spoiler:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PAINT...Q5fAccessories

My problem is, what color to chose. My car is white, so do I go traditional with white, or since I have somewhat of a contrast thing going (black & white), go with black?

I have black rocker stripes, tint and a blackout panel so I was thinking that black might go nicely. I'm just not set on it.

Opinions are greatly appreciated

I think when people go the contrast route and do a black spoiler, it really only works with "pedestal" style spoilers because it really solidifies that classic look. In my opinion, doing a lip style spoiler in black would make it look "unfinished" rather than planned.

I say paint it white! It will look slick with the blackout panel!

Do it white. A black GT500 spoiler on a white Mustang would look out of place. Pedestal spoiler maybe but not a GT500 spoiler IMO.

Show the pics of your car but I think white will be the best

Well, it seems like a consensus. I'm going to go with the white. I currently have the pedestal style and have seen people paint them black to go with the white and thought maybe I could pull it off with a GT500.

Anyway, I will post before/after pics when I get it ordered and installed.

Thanks for the input everyone

Yes, it only uses two of the holes though. (along with 3M tape) I think it's the rear two and I would fill in the front two to prevent water from getting in the trunk. Some people have drilled two extra holes on the outer sides, but I don't think it's necessary.
