Default Carbon Fiber 4D Wrapped Spoiler?

I've seen another thread on here with pictures, but has anyone else done this?

Did you remove the entire wing from trunk or wrap around it?

I'm trying to find out if it would even be worth it to try with it on, or if it will look strange with the white (Color of my car) underneath.

Any photos of it up without fully wrapping, or pictures of both would help me at my appointment tomorrow.

You know the carbon fiber spoiler is an option for the white RCF. I don't think it looks strange.

It won't look bad as pakeeno said, it comes like that with the performance package. Difference is that the 4d carbon wrap is semi gloss or even barely gloss at all whereas the real carbon fiber that comes with the performance package is glossy. You'd have to wrap it with Carbon fiber 5D to look the same and it is more expensive

I think OP is talking about the exposed white on the underside of the spoiler. I think it'll be ok. Because if you look at the wing the top and underside are almost two different surfaces.

If you're interested, seibon is selling a real carbon fiber spoiler and other CF goodies for a reasonable price.

I ended up doing the 4D on roof and then the 3M regulars Caxton on wing which has literally no visible difference.

it came out great, no need to spend the extra money on 5D IMO, I’ve also heard it doesn’t weather great.
