Going to need alittle help here. Im slightly color blind, i believe the spoiler to be a very dark blue/green. However, from a distance it appears dark enough to blend in with the trim. I think it looks good that way. To save myself face, should I paint it black so it definatly matches the trim? Should I paint the spoiler white so it matches the body? Or should I just leave it as is??

Im kinda doubting my painting abilities. Im not sure if I can get the same shine as the subaru factory did. I'd rather not ruin it, but I dont want it to make my car look gay either

Definitely try white. Looks awesome but where did you get the wing from is the real question!

Its from a '98 LGT Wagon.

I prepped it for installation today by removing all the original mounting studs. They will not work with the hatch... i got some super epoxy i will use to bond it to the hatch. Once its on, its on and there is no going back.

Can you even open the trunk now?

white for sure!!

I never could... cause my car doesnt have a trunk.



And its not installed yet, Its just sitting on the hatch for visual aid.

yeah i dont really think that blue should be an option here but for my say so i would do it black it would both (oem and aftermarket)? just saying

its super hard to paint match white (heh, stupid white car) and mismatched white would look mega dumb. Since the dark green is totally unnatural on that car, I vote black, you have black trim and black roofracks, it will look normal.

Yeah, starting to think black myself.

Black.

Body color - White, but the car will have to be buffed (or something like Meguiars Body Scrub/paint cleaner should be used) so the new paint matches the old paint better.

I say black. I got my front quarter panel painted factory white after my neighbor backed into my car-new white paint looks very different than 14 year old white paint.

Make it fast, make it black...Along w/ the rest of the roof.

If you trim the trim down a little from the top on the sides of the window it'll fit better.

Yeah beater I know...

I have prepped it, and i will trim it.

Hrm... painting the entire roof black??? maybe.

Or you could paint the whole roof white. It wouldn't have to be as close a match since it would be visually separated from the rest of the car by the windows.

in a couple days my roof is going to be painting black
