Default the ebay spoiler should i leave it black or paint it white to match??

It came in last week. I really like how it looks. I had planned on painting it white to match but im kinda liking it in black. I heated it up with a blow dryer and i taped it down so it can start taking form. I read you have to do this before you have it painted so that the paint doesnt get damage if you try and bend it after its painted. I took the masking tape off and was prettt impressed. What do you guys think i snapped some pics different angles. Now remember its not taped down yet im just testing it out

I'd paint it! Unless you have a Crafted Line version of the IS or intend to copy this look, then I would leave it as is!

I'm usually a fan of subtle things so I'd say paint it... But I'm loving the contrast on the white car. Does the black paint have a nice finish or does it look cheap?

Also where did you get that F-Sport license frame?

Black looks pretty nice. Did you also tint your tail lights? Maybe it's just the lighting of the picture. Anyway, I think black works in this case. You can spend the money on buying other accessories.
