Default A Few Paint Ideas

I've had this ls1 SS spoiler for a while now, bough for $80, had to do a lot of body work to it. I really wanted an LT1 SS spoiler but couldn't afford it (SLP wanted more in shipping than the price of the spoiler) It sits on the car now in primer as I ran out of money and realized that I want to paint my whole car and it would be stupid to buy just enough for the spoiler, but I can't afford to buy a gallon for the whole car. So I thought I'd try something different in the mean time and get some cheap black, because at least it would look better than a primered spoiler. Now I'm getting cold feet, afraid I won't like it.

Here's some of the ideas I was kicking around:





Yes, they would be glossy, not flat. I am not a photoshop master.

Note how I extend the black up onto the hatch.

Either way I thought it would look good as a whole picture with this hood with some black going on up front, probably on the edges of the cowl (minus ground effects):



EDIT: here's one I just did up with the two-tone spoiler and black berger:



What do you think?

Edit:


Body colored letters
