Default Opinions please, which color spoiler????

I am going to install a ZR1 spoiler from RPI on my velocity yellow GS. My dilemma is whether to go with a body color or carbon fiber. i like the idea of some black accents with the yellow. It's a big decision because it will determine the way I go when I do the splitter and skirts. So, what do you think????

thanks.

When it comes to spoilers, I always prefer body color.

You can still do the balance of the car, anyway you like.

Another vote for body color.... unless maybe you have black wheels, then the carbon fiber spoiler would compliment.

EDIT. directed at the OP with yellar. Ham, your setup looks great with matching color spoilar

If you were just going to do the spoiler, I would go with the body color.

Since you're looking to do the splitter and skirts too, I think the CF all around would be a cool look.

One piece of carbon fiber looks silly so I'd go body color. But, if you have the splitter and skirts carbon fiber as well it would look a lot better than body color.

I vote body color even if you go with the splitter and side skirts in CF. The reason being, is the spoiler is not on the same plane as the splitter and skirts so there is that disconnect. Even though the splitter and skirts are not connected, they are both on the bottom of the car and only separated by the front wheel opening.

another Vote for body color (my car is black) , I installed that same spoiler. I like CF a lot, the problem is it starts getting addicting ...first you just do the spoiler, then you start Carbon Fibering everything next thing you know windsheild wiper tray is CF too. lol

CF is dangerous

We get compliments all the time for the way the CF really pops! So I would say go CF. JMHO

VY rear spoiler unless you are going with CF side skirts and front splitter.
