Default To paint or not...

Just looking for some opinions... was thinking of painting the part of the trunk lid that is between the tail lights black. Is this a stupid idea or do you think it might look good?

Pic deleted, it did look kinda weird!

Stupid idea. If it's red, leave it red...or paint the whole car black. Then you're talking. Is your spoiler black? If so, have it painted to match the car.

Hmm, I did save my original red spoiler.. I thought it got a bit too red with nothing back there except the gt emblem and license plate not red.. but there is something to be said for clean looks too..

Btw, that pic does not show just what a great job they did at Al's friend's business (Grip Tuning) on the tint job.. I don't think the average person (such as myself) could tell that it's not stock glass tint.. Highly recommended!

You could call some junkyard that have late models and see if they have a decklid.

I think you should put a 98 civic spoiler on it
And then an older...... say...... 95 eclipse gsx wing on top of that

How about just leaving the wing on your car and covering the whole car in stickers......
