Deck lid spoiler?

Im thinking about getting a deck lid spoiler for my SSM TL.. Do you guys think a black one would look good on an SSM TL? has anyone done this color combo?

Please don't do it. I put mine on recently (SSM) and it just would not look right if it was black.

This. If you must get one, make it color matched. However, IMO the car looks so clean with no spoilers at all.

ya know, growing up, I always thought I would add a decklid (m3 spoiler) to one of my cars.
but now that i do have a cool car, the body lines are pretty sleek and i dont see the need to add the decklid.

Hahaha alright. I'll either go color matched or no spoiler at all. Thanks for your opinions everyone! Appreciate it.

MAYBE if you follow the rest of the car with that same theme, but it still probably wouldn't look good...

Rice. Mine has the factory wing which I didn't want but it was the only black on black on the lot and they knocked the $1,000 off because I said I wasn't going to pay extra for an option I didn't want. It's grown on me over the last 5 years though.

On that note, if anyone wants to trade the factory lip spoiler for the wing, let me know.
