Unpainted Panel Under the Moving Spoiler
Unpainted Panel Under the Moving Spoiler
I want to paint that plastic panel that's under my spoiler. What colors could I get away with? My vehicle is black, and I'm going to get that OEM underbody kit that wrap around the exhaust and paint it a matching color to whatever I paint this panel. I'm thinking either: black (boring, but probably the best idea), chrome (would match those strips on the grill, metallic (would match the OEM strakes (whiskers) on the side of the car).
Feedback?

Excellent idea, I have wanted to do this for quite some time. Any help on how to remove the panel?
I think the black would look good but silver may look good as well, I do not think the chrome would be as attractive, just my $0.02
My car is all black as well and it is completely debadged (not even the chrysler wings survived) so when the spoiler pops, I have the nice silver with black outline KARMANN decal under it, the only badging or decal on the whole car, and I think it looks great.

It looks like the factory forgot to paint that part in the pic..........but to each his own.
I would put a black decal lettering that said "F#$K OFF" and when someone cuts me off on the road I would return the favor and then raise the spoiler. LOL, that would be classic.

Ha. It looks better than my 2mp Blackberry can give it justice. In any case, I think that black like the rest of the car would have just been a little too boring for my taste, and any other color wouldn't have matched since I don't have any colors. Oh well, something unique.
