    What do you guys think about painting or wrapping the spoiler to a non-black color? The Gen II spoilers are painted to match the body.

    Is the spoiler even painted or is it a black plastic coating? I know the base plastic underneath is white or a lighter color.

    So what do you think? Will it look stupid?

    I'd wrap it in carbon fiber. Subtle but sexayyyy.

    By the way, why do you think painted all 2010+ spoilers in black? Cost savings of course. :(

    I like the spoiler in gloss black. It flows nicely with the tinted hatch glass above and below it.

    I wouldn't be so sure about that. It could be that black spoiler coordinates better with the Solar Roof, so they decided to make them black by default given they still look pretty good on the non-SR models.
