'08 Type S lip spoiler. Opinions wanted...

just bought a black 08 type lip spoiler. i put it on and decided whether to keep it black or get it painted to match the car.. i was thinking it would flow better if i put a black roof spoiler also.

must be the picture or the angles or something

but yeah, color match it. looks silly as-is. unless you plan to vinyl your roof black than maybe. but getting it painted would cost alot.

i say you should send it to me

I like it as is... I was actually thinking about doing the same thing and getting a NBP type-s lip spoiler b/c i have a black roof spoiler. but my car is AM so i'm still deciding on doing it or not. but i like it!!

actually now that i think about it, does anybody have any photoshop skills and put a black type-s spoiler with a black roof spoiler on an AM tl.

In a perfect world white will do and so will 99% peeps on Azine....

if you want to be different then keep it as is....you asked what to do with your tails and here is my answer:

+1 for USR custom tails w/ black roof spoiler.

Definitely a more unique look to be had with that combo.

Mr. C, have you been counting the tallies?????


Guys, in the lower right hand corner, the middle icon is a multi-quote button. This allows you to respond to more than one person in a single response.


Be sure to try it out!

Keep it the way it is, and colour match the bottom part of the rear bumper... I think it works.

What happened to the ability to create poll threads? Would've made this a lot easier hehe.

I vote to color match it.
