should i black out the roof spoiler by vinyl wrap

so my glc300 is polar white with night package. I want to complete the night package by blacking out the roof and roof spoiler.
Would it look weird to black out just the top of the spoiler and leaving the bottom part (where there's a center piece light) white.
Also thinking about blacking out the door handles, but some people said it would look cheap.
should I Plastidip rear emblems or paint them in black

picture as reference (not my car):

how it looks from rear:

None. The car looks best as is. I cringe when people follow the storm trooper fab, especially the after market Storm troopers.

I'd love to blackout my trim and various other bobbles, but found out they wanted $500 US for just the window trim. HUH? That's crazy money for stickers.

Prices will vary from shop to shop, based on locations, etc, but it's more than just stickers. It'd be like going to a graphic designer and saying it's just MS paint/photoshop.

Don - I agree with you, no disrespect meant to your profession (I am a graphic designer LOL). I've seen the work that goes into this, but I have a heck of a time with $500 for window trim. Ironically, if I had the time and the right tools, I'd take the trim off and wrap those myself. But I have neither. Not for body work. Plus most wrappers probably do those pieces on - I would only take them off as I don't trust my own razor skills and would likely nic the paint surrounding the trim.

Your work, btw, speaks volumes and inspired me to ask my tinter how much. Guess I'm staying with silver for now.

Cheers

I am in the same boat, did you end up doing it? I want to do a gloss vinyl wrap but not sure what to do with the white rear spoiler. I think it will look odd in black.
