My 2019 Acura ILX w/ Type R Wing
Evening Folks, Here's a question to all car Enthusiasts. Why do all Spoilers/Wings people paint the middle part black/carbon fiber, and the sides to the body color?
I understand people think it looks Cool or Racer'ish, but what's wrong with all painted the same color?

I know,
Middle painted black/carbon fiber looks sporty.
All painted same color looks classy.

Personally I like both, but just wanna know why people do it. and if you paint it all the same color does it brand you as a noob, and same goes for the duo color wings, some kind of social status/ Racer wanna be?

Curious to see what Car Enthusiasts think,

Thanks

Never noticed. Do whatever you like is my thinking. All one color would my be preference unless the hood, roof and trunk lid were a different color.

Pretty much aesthetics.

My speculation: since the spoiler is almost always above a painted piece, painting the blade of the spoiler black will take a bit of attention away from the spoiler, while keeping the sides of the spoiler painted will keep it from disrupting body lines. Also, subtle color contrast for style points.

I say "almost always" because my hatch has the lower spoiler above glass, and the FK8 CTR spoiler is also above glass and the gloss black painted lower spoiler

Dude, I think you just hit the nail on the head.

Cheers...
