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!

Well, I don't really care for the spoiler at all, kinda wish I had ordered it with the delete option, but I didn't even think of it at the time... 
So, what's a good place to take it to get the holes from the spoiler plugged and painted good enough that you can't tell it was done?

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

I'm in the process of doing mine and if you still want yours done I can help. Might not be able to get to yoursd for a while, but this could also be a winter project if you'd like.

Since they're saving $ on the spoiler and painting it tell them you want those funds applied elsewhere like a few touch ups or something
