Default Caravaggio, Too Much, Right?

Installed the spoiler last fall. Impromptu, went satin black.

It's cold in MI right now, so now's a good time to yank it and take it to the shoppe with my headlight lid or gas door, and ask for Yellow.

My sig is too much, right?

Thanks. I hope so. Cross your fingers for me. I'm doing a carbon fiber hood sometime ... leaving that black too. I'll post some pix probably Monday night or Tuesday after I get the bumper and spoiler on the car. Do you think I should ditch the rear emblem?

I would select stainless letters to go in the black field on your repainted fascia, and remove the emblem on the trunk-hatch.
Sounds like it will be awsome...waiting for your pix!

Sorry to hi-jack your thread Mike.
I thought about the letters, but I have them now. I wanted to do and undone rear this time. I just may yank the emblem tho ... there's too much going on if I have all that stuff one there. Thanks Jen. BTW, nice pix of your ride too.

I never wanted to say anything when you first put that spoiler on, but NOW since you are asking I have to admit I never liked the black spoiler on your MY car.

Paint it Yellow. I DO like the black lower section of the rear facia though.

I have to agree, the black is a bit much. But thats your choice not mine. Go with what you like

Looks nice but I'd paint the spoiler to match the Yellow car.

Hey Welladjusted. I would definitely say get it painted Yellow. With the lower blackout, dark taillights and the black spoiler, your eyes/brain can't connect on what to look at. Now if it is yellow, good to go! It works on the Spiral Gray car because, at least in pictures or from a distance, you really don't realize that it is a different color. Yellow would look great.

Thanx Folks!

I purposely limited the amount of 3M tape, just for this eventuallity. I knew it was very unconventional and that even I might change my mind eventually, being the nonconformist I am.

Looks like I'm gonna have to re-think the sig AGAIN.
