i had the SAME problem. I recently got and installed the carbon fiber one from euroteck. I like it but not sure how much. I think it will look better once I have the carbon diffuser. I also have the carbon front lip. Carbon looks better on the bottom on the car in my opinion. but i do like the spoiler on the trunk too in carbon but not sure if it would be better painted yet....

sorry not much help i know. I really think with a nice carbon diffuser it will look much better. until that part comes out (neillllllllllll), i am not sure...

Obviously, to each their own. But I couldn't agree more...

Why not do both? I am personally leaning toward a look similar to the Vorsteiner with maybe the top half color matched and the back half/bottom raw so that it is only visible from the back and maybe a little from the very to edge of the spoiler.

Order the carbon one, stick it one with some cheap/weak two sided tape see if you like the way it looks, if not you can always have it painted to match. I personally think carbon is the way to go, that is how the Black Series comes and it look trick.

You need to have a plan. If you want to add a CF/black spoiler you need additional mods to blend it all together. I say go with the CF theme but then again, I'm biased. Here are some pics on a silver C32.

Go carbon! It's not Ricer, it's Racer and exotic looking IMO.
