I left mine GFM. I like the contrast - stands out nicely against the black roof. LSD did the same. There's another white IS that didn't paint it either as seen below. You can see Javy's roof spoiler painted black and the starfire pearl one left white.

Yeah...i kinda liked the contrast but didnt want to make my car too ricey. I do like the way yours look though, agressive and still classy. Looks pretty badass. Neways...thanks guys. You guys really helped me make up my mind.

i can't tell clearly from the picture if your roof is black (i'm guessing it is), but i would have someone photoshop it black for you and see how it looks.

Paint it to match roof. Or just remove it.
