Hmm, I see 1/6 car and 5/6 messy garage :p

I used to love the bare CF look but I think it's cleaner to paint those pieces. I understand how most people with CF parts want to floss it. IMO, even with black, bare CF doesn't look too nice. It makes a shiny, black car look gray where the CF parts are.

paint the body of the wing, but not the movable section. leave that unpainted. id say paint the lip.

If you want it to look good, paint it.

if you want to show off that you spent a lot of money and got carbon fiber stuff, leave it.

I'm a fan of painting the lip and wing but not the adjustable part.

i painted my c/f mugen wing and i am very pleased with it. all i can say is be VERY careful when putting the adjustable part back on.

I think you should paint it for sure. Unmatching body panels look wack.

i kind of like the ek look.. carbon front lip, carbon wing, and carbon hood. everything else painted to match the car. just my .02

How is that "the EK look?"

I think EK's look better with matching body panels too.

dont paint it keep it c/f

Hrm i dunno i may take that back. After seeing a pic it looks really awsome painted. I guess i just didnt see it at first because i was used to seeing my euro yellow with the carbon fiber <--looks good together!
