R pkg deck spoiler: paint?
I've been collecting some parts here & there in the past couple of months, and this week brought a trunk spoiler to my door along with a few other goodies. It's a slightly weathered black that would likely polish up nicely. So here's the question: should I leave it black or paint to match the car?
My tastes tend to be fickle, so I'm seeking a little input.
Saw a Mach1 'stang on the road today and rather liked the black spoiler, so I'm a little torn.
On a happy note, my shopping list is now four items shorter.

By the way, if you decide it is too much trouble, let me know...

On a red car, I think having the trunk spoiler black along with the front lip spoiler black would look pretty nice. I've seen it before and loved it, but its a bit of a race look as opposed to a classy look. Check the forums for pics or play with photoshop to help decide.
