Decklid Blackout
I wanted to blackout my decklid panel but I can't see paying for it!! LOL!!
We had a piece of flat black 3M wrap material left over from a wrap so I took it and did the installation last night. Took off the fake gas cap, cleaned the panel real good and applied the wrap material. Then I cut it to fit and made a cutout around where the fake gas cap goes then stuck the cap back on using 3M molding tape.
Not bad for 2 dollars in molding tape!!

I am thinking about doing the cowl on the hood, the roof and the whole trunk & spoiler in flat black. Not sure. Here is a pic of the rest of my car. I think it would look pretty good with my wheels. Outside of that, the good thing is that it is just vinyl so if I don't like it I can peel it off!
I think your spoiler would look good black
And I like this hood, if I may recommend.

Turned out really good!
To add to your black and silver theme, have you considered tinting your side blinkers, tail lights and 3rd brake light?
Also, a (silver/black) chin spoiler would add a nice touch too, like the California Special front bumpers. =-)

Car, when I was looking at the pic I didnt see the wing and I thought it looked really sharp. Ever thought of taking it off?
Also that pic looks just like my first pic after tinting my tail lights. Just sayin.

Looks great! I spent $24.99 on my blackout decal and thought it was a good deal, but you beat me. Definitely take a hack saw to the antennae, free and worth it. I cut 12" off mine (to roof level) and the reception was not affected.
