I think you should color match ... unless you have a black roof - where I would choose carbon/black.

unless you paint the whole roof black and get a black or carbon roof spoiler, i would match it.

If you have cf parts already then cf roof spoiler. Otherwise just match.

Yep....color match would look better. It wouldn't look like an add on piece.

It's not easy to match starfire pearl. I ordered a roof spoiler painted, it doesn't match. I have to repaint it to match now, but they refunding some of the price. Be prepared for that if you order it painted.

It would look better if you matched your car.

Match the car unless you plan on getting more cf exterior parts later.

that's a tough decision. Do you have a trunk spoiler yet?

While color-matching is the safer bet, I can understand how difficult it can be to accurately match the OEM pearl paints. A CF roof spoiler MIGHT work if at the very least you have a dark tint on your windows as well as CF accenting elsewhere on your car (emblem inserts, pillars etc).
