Should I re-paint my chin spoiler?
As the title says... Currently all black, thinking about blacking out the center and painting the sides body color... (Thanks to Xeno for the chop! )

Neither. How about painting it body color and continue the strips down onto it? I have seen that done and it looks nice.

+3. Picture 1 looks unfinished and picture 2 just looks weird. I'm all for being a trend setter, but in this case I think painting the chin to match body and continuing the stripes would be your best bet.

I guess I like it black over the painted sides. The right side looks higher than the left side looking at the picture...is it?

A GT/CS front bumper would look best.

+4 - yes, paint the entire spoiler and follow the stripes down onto the spoiler.

+5 Yes, paint the entire spoiler and add the stripes. If you didn't have the stripes, I would've said to black out the center instead.

Wouldn't what he's saying look just like that? I have been thinking the same thing myself.

It is higher on the left side. You can really tell in the spacing on the white stripes aboove it. Fix the spoiler and then paint it to match car and put the stripes down it.

Here's another vote for painting it and continuing the stripe. Plus I have a photoshop to support it.

Why do your stripes have a smaller gap on the front bumper than the hood and roof? Did you do that on purpose?
