NO NO NO I would not paint the spoiler just the rims. From what I am seeing both look sexy as hell but you just stick with one I think it's just gonna be spur of the moment Ill decide right before I buy it haha so we shall see =)

Had mine done at a local auto body shop.

Gloss black with clear coat (no edges) prep and paint $1,000.

Gloss is easy to clean. How do keep wax off matte black?

They will both look good but you need to stick with the same color paint on everything. I went with the Matte since the red is super bright and you need something on the opposite end of the spectrum. Gloss black is ok and it may be easier to wax etc. but Matte black looks a heck of a lot meaner. You just need not worry about what anyone on here thinks you are the one that has to drive it and like it and everyone has different tastes.

Hootna nailed it =) good point on Matte Black Gloss Black shines a little too much with it.

Cool Matte Black

I really like the matte black; it is a great contrast!

Yes, that price was for removing and painting the hood, prep on the CDC classic chin red & black paint & install, removing and painting the rear spoiler and painting the section between tail lights. Worth every penny to get the job done right.
