Matte fixed wing for GTC

Hey all,

I know there are many threads on rear wings (yes, I've read them all.) I can't stand the active spoiler going up and down on my AMG GTC coupe all the time so I want to replace it with a fixed wing. I want a matte finish since I have the Edition 50 Designo Graphite Gray Magno paint. I'm considering just over spraying one of these with a matte finish. Here are links to what I think are the viable options. If you have DONE one of these installs, I'd love your candid opinion on best way to go or not go. If I've missed a good option, please let me know.

Thanks in advance. This is a great forum!

Andrew

OEM - expensive and hard to maneuver. I haven't found any of the parts "kits" often reported on this forum.Darwin Pro: https://darwinproaero.com/collection...39415033593953

JSK: http://www.jskracing.com/product_vie...id=508&id=4985, They have the option for a MATTE finish but some threads here say quality is suspect.

RW Carbon: https://www.rwcarbon.com/mercedes-c1...rear-wing.html, https://www.rwcarbon.com/mercedes-c1...rear-wing.html, NO matte option!

Renntech: https://www.renntechmercedes.com/index.php/products/mb/amg-gt/gt-2018/gt-c-2018/cf-dtm-wing-190-amg-gt-detail, Too expensive, don't like the height and lasered metal look.

How was the install. Any difficulties / issues? Good instructions or did you have to figure it out?

I was happy with the quality and fit of the DarwinPro - https://darwinproaero.com/products/m...39415033593953

Remember to order one of these too - https://ansixauto.com/active-rear-sp...etCurrencyId=2

Thanks for your thoughtful reply. What's it supposed to mean?

He's the quintessential old man yells at clouds, who despises any visual modification to the stock GT, and instead of staying away from threads discussing those types of mods, chooses to take every opportunity to come in and make snide comments.

Ah. Thanks for the clarification. I can't imagine taking the time to belittle someone asking a sincere question with a sarcastic comment. Oh well. To each their own.
