Default Painted my APR spoiler Arctic White

Searched forever for pictures of an APR spoiler painted body color. Had no luck... even APR said they had no pictures but knew customers had done it. I was going to wrap it to save the carbon fiber but I could not find any wrap that matched the paint close enough. I tried Avery Willis, Oracall, 3M, and one other brand. All were noticeably whiter than Arctic White Just got these pictures from my painter will be installing this weekend or next.

Looks great!

I prefer the same color painted spoiler as the C7 exterior color too! Thankfully mine's Arctic White too, in the FE2 optioned Z51 look.

Nice. I’ll keep an eye out for you around the Beach. One color looks much better.

Like it. I have never gotten used to the black spoilers, wheels, and mirrors either. Splitter in black looks good, but not the rest.

Agree... it was very hard to find a white manual Z51 that didn't have black roof, mirrors, spoiler, or wheels.

Much better than all those black ones. How much of a hassle is the removal and install?

PITA vs. older Vettes as you can't get access via the tail lights anymore and have to pull the bumper.

But it gives me an excuse to pull the quarters and do the Z06 ducts the right way.

If you don't mind me asking how much did you have to pay for that? The reason why I am asking is because I am trying to get my "poverty" splitter painted the carbon flash black metallic and was looking for a ball pack estimate that I should be shooting for.

Thanks,
Jayson
