Default Need opinions on color for a spoiler

Hi , need help to decide on a carbon flash z51 spoiler or a Artic white spoiler for my 2014 white base convertable corvette. I have black wheels and my side mirrors are white as well. I do have carbon flash ACS side rockers and front splitter installed , or should I leave it alone ? Thank you in advance

I would have body color rear spoiler, forget the side skirts, and add a stock black level 1 Z06 front splitter.

I think you should go with the carbon flash spoiler. With the ground effects added and the black stinger stripe, I think the carbon flash would tie the top and bottom together.

No, no, no.....absolutely Carbon Flash. You've trimmed out your C7 with black accents, like the wheels, front splitter, side skirts and stinger stripe. Now, carry that theme on with the Carbon Flash rear spoiler. Also, if you can, do that with your side mirrors too.

with Steve's comments....go with the Black spoiler....it will add a allot of contrast when viewing from the backend.

You have it backwards. I would paint your mirrors black to match the spoiler

IMO, the spoiler should be painted carbon flash.

I have an arctic white vet with the full Z51 package. I have the carbon flash hood stripe and a white spoiler. I think having the body color spoiler works well - see below. I'm sure whatever you get will look great!

I also vote carbon flash. If you had chrome wheels I would say white as in the pic above. But with black wheels, go carbon flash. On a side note....I would take a look at the WeaponX spoiler for your car. It's a lot like the Z51 spoiler with slight variation. I think it looks great and you can get it in Carbon Flash as well. I think it would look great with the other lines you have on your car. If I didn't already have a Z51 on my car...I would opt for the WeaponX
