Roof spoiler advice
So, I just bought a factory style roof and trunk spoiler. My problem is that I don't know what color to paint the roof spoiler. My car is white, but I have the panorama roof, so the roof looks black, and my windows are tinted very dark. Do you guys think I should paint the roof spoiler white so it stands out, or black to make it blend in??? Does anyone have pictures of a similar setup by any chance?

I would agree White. I already have the trunk spoiler. How do you like the roof spoiler??? I am thinking of adding one as well. Could you please post some pictures...it would be really helpful to see it in white (since thats my cars color as well). Thanks!!!

I think the roof spoiler is a better fit on cars without the pano roof.

My car is sans pano. This aftermarket "stuff" is addictive.

I originally had my roof spoiler and trunk spoiler silver to match the car. After painting my roof I painted the roof spoiler black and switched the trunk spoiler to CF.

Looks good, but you should take off the AMG badge

It's your car and you could do what you want. Just letting you know it's not an AMG unless it leaves the AMG factory with the engine, drivetrain, etc.
