I had the rear painted and I can't decide weather I like it or not. I am having a Roush scoop and hood pins put on Tuesday and am thinking that I might have them repaint the rear. What are your thoughts. I'm on the fence.

I agree. I think it looks better with the original paint.

I think the black-out looks fine. If it's what you got now, stick with it. Why pay money to change something when you yourself can't even decide if the change is better or not? If it's that close, leave it, and spend the money on something else.

I like the black out also you should add the black vinyl stripes between the individual lenses of the tail lights.

I like no black out, the CDC tail kind of looks off with black underneath. Just my .02

I like the black...Would look better if it were gloss black, or is it just the camera angle that makes it look dull ???

Starting to get some opinions and I appreciate it. The panel is matt black not gloss.

I think it would look better gloss black. But, I'm not sure it wouldn't look best stock color.

I agree
The blackout looks good, and I don't think you should justify to repaint it.
If you hadn't painted it already there would be more possibilities to sway you, but I think keeping it black is the best option as well.

I personally think the original paint looks better. The black looks completely out of place there and it draws attention away from the spoiler.

Took Ed's advise and put some 1/4 inch black pinstriping around the tail light lenses. I think it looks better now and it's starting to grow on me.

Love the spoiler, don't care for the black out treatment.
