Trunk Lip / Spoiler Paint or Carbon Fiber on Carbon Mettalic?
I'm going back and forth on this. I've scanned the forums for pics but there aren't many around.
I'm thinking of adding the rear lip spoiler and wonder opinions between going OE painted to match the carbon black metallic or do the OE M Performance in carbon fiber? Basically they are the same price so that is a non-issue anyway. But what do you think about the contrast of carbon fiber on carbon metallic? Thoughts? |

Purely subjective but my 2¢: match the paint.

That sure looks great to me.
I want to thank you for posting this update pic as I am going through the very same thing right now, only my car is Singapore Grey. Sometimes I think it looks like I tried to match the grey but missed. Other times it looks pretty good, especially when one considers the roof is CF and mine came with a CF diffuser on it. That makes me think I ought to go with a bit more CF - perhaps a front lip, grilles (now black), and side markers (black too). It really helps a lot to see it on yours. Thank you for posting the update. It's hard for me to tell how long you've had it on there. From your test fit pic on 4/26 I'm guessing it's been on there 2 weeks at the most. I know it's not much time, but do you have any regrets or second thoughts about leaving this CF vs. painting it the body color? Your pics are great but nothing beats seeing it in person. |

I personally think that all the lip spoilers are fine, but my preference was this for a number of reasons. I see you have the M6 GC. I ended up getting the carbon fiber diffuser and exhause insert the same as you have, assuming you didn't change to M Performance. I'd be interested in seeing what you choose to do. |
