Default Anyone buy the toms rep rear spoiler in NON carbon fiber? What color to paint?

Thinking about getting this, its a matte black non carbon fiber rear spoiler. Would this look good painted black or painted my cars color? I have a Grey ISF.

Gloss black so it has a little contrast, you won’t notice it much color matched.

I’m in the process of getting a quote to have my used authentic Toms diffuser re-cleared with a smoke tint added. The CF looks Grey and ****ty against obsidian paint. Kinda disappointed. I’d of opted for a FRP and just paint matched it at this point. Oh well.

Have you considered just putting a matte clearcoat instead of
tinted, my mate got matte carbon fiber seats in his guilia quadrifoglio, looks dope,

and on my isf i've got front lip, sides and rear diffuser satin matte black.
only carbon fiber hood. still considering if i'll paint it and just leaving the vent or have as it is.

as for the gloss black, if the diffuser isnt perfect, it will show all imperfections.

I think you mean diffuser, not spoiler? Diffuser I bought from the same link/guy on eBay, fitment was 8/10 but body shop was able to paint black and install for like $250 or so, I don't recall, but total cost under $500 for sure.
I have also contemplated color matching some of the more "exterior" section to look more like the Lexon diffuser as well, but at that point a different diffuser style may make more sense.
