Those that have roof spoiler and PANO, did you leave your roof spoiler black?

I do not have one but I would think on a white with pano like mine I would want the spoiler to be glossy black like the roof. If not it might look like the wing that you see on pleasure boats like a four-winns or sea-ray.

It's a tough.... I think the color of the roof spoiler should follow whatever color the roof is.
But since the section of the rear glass where the spoiler goes on is already black, I don't think it will stand out much painted black.

I am glad i have a regular moon roof. I am painting mine white.

I left my black, but my car is Obsidian Black. So, it wasn't an issue.

I'd probably have to say black just to continue the black line from roof to rear. It's a tough choice and I'll be waiting to see people post theirs before I finally make my decision, but in my mind, I think black works out best for our color.

Yeah, I agree. It just doesn't stand out. Can't even tell it's there from a distant. That's what I think what Carbon Fiber spoiler will be like, too. That's why I am just getting the PU one and painted white.

those 22" are awesome though!!!! man. they just keep getting bigger and bigger!!!
