Default Civic Type R wing paint scheme?

i just recieved a type R wing, how should I paint it? Should I paint the base black and the top silver, or the whole thing silver, If you have the wing, you know what I am talking about. Thanks.

I like it all one color personally. Is it a genuine wing or copy? If it's a copy did you test fit it? What did it run you?

aerocar in canada, their number is 1-780-440-6017 and i gotta tell you the fit is excellent, ask for Dave and tell him Philip sent you. Shipping is a steal at $50 from CANADA, thats UPS with a working tracking number too. Guy answered all my calls, he called me on his cell while he was snow-boarding on his honeymoon. Thats quality. Comes with a D.O.T. approved brake light if you want it.

Don't listen to these peeps!

Paint the base black and the wing sliver. If you paint both it looks totally stupid!

Why do a CTR (like) wing and not paint it the same as a CTR wing

I had mine painted gloss black but OEM is flat black (the base).



Old Pic.......

Paint the base a flat black, and the top part of the wing the cars color. That's the way it was meant to look, so why paint the whole thing and have it look stupid?
