aero wing color?

My factory rubber wing is charcoal grey colored.Should I paint my fiberglass wing to match the car or paint it satin black to match the t top bar and hatch trim? anyone have a pic of a off color painted wing? The car is going to be a salsa red metalic pearl.sort of candy apple red.with factory silver stickers and hood bird for a 85 TA. Help me decide!

I would paint it body color. If you paint it black, it will look like its mounted with the factory primer still on it, and make the car look unfinished.

I agree, paint it the same color as the rest of the car.

The early aero wings were black and had more texture. I think it was 87 when they started painting them body color and they were more smooth. Having an 86 and preferring the stock look... I like mine black.

I vote for body color. My 87 Formula is body color and it looks awesome.

I will be painting it the body color.Unless I could by a new GM unit it would look bad if I painted it black.
