Spoiler Color

chpt11 · 12-26-2012, 09:36 PM

I have a 2013 370 in magma red with the sport package spoiler. I lov the magma red, but was thinking of painting the spoiler black for some contrast. thoughts?

I say hell NO even though many here will give their blessing. I've seen black spoilers on other colored cars and I think it's tacky looking like two-tone body panels. Think hard about your resell value. Will you like it in 5 years or regret it?

The rear spoiler is said to be very tricky to remove, so be careful. Have a pro paint it.

Or just buy a black one... Probably just as much to buy one used and paint or a flat black one rather than paint the original.

There are 11 mounting points. So it is very labor intensive, not all bolts, but a lot of removing and reapplying prep needs to be done = $$$

I actually have my (used) magnetic black sports spoiler if you want it. I had it removed for my wing install.
