Black for sure, it'll blend with the roof and the back window

Black will look better because of your roof. Do you have any other pics?

If the roof is the only part painted black....I would definately keep it silver....It would look like you added an "aftermarket" spoiler that needs to be painted. I think it would look pretty damn funny with just a black roof and a black spoiler only. jmo....

Is your ride tinted? 20% would look nice with the black roof. What was your inspiration to paint the roof black?

he's talking about a ROOF spoiler. not hte trunk spoiler.

roof spoiler needs to be black to match tint and roof.

imagine how awkward it would look with a gap.........

either way, you lose, since you won't notice the spoiler if its painted black.

My call is black.

If you choose to paint it black... maybe you can paint mine for a better price? Just won a roof spoiler yesterday in EOS...

Black will definitely blend, but silver might give it a nice contrast. It all depends on what kind of look you are going for. Personally, I'd prefer silver.
