there's a picture of a silverstone painted with asm on here somewhere....i'd paint it though. I dn't think the trunk spoiler ever looks right when it's left carbon...maybe you can come up with a scheme where some of the carbon is still showing

Hey Skank, don't think I have seen your car cruising around the island, so I have to ask. Do you have any other carbon bits exposed on the car? If so, or if you plan to soon, I would say keep it raw. But if not, I would paint at least half of it. If you do choose to paint it, who would you use?

The more carbon you add the better it will look

Leave the very tip of it dry carbon, maybe a quarter inch on the back and top of it and paint the rest. This way it's a nice accent

I agree with what was said earlier paint it and leave a dry carbon lip about 1/2 inch from the tip. It will look good as hell I had a friend who did it to his M3 and it was killer!!!
