wait? what? you want a high rise wing over your SS spoiler? bad choice man IMO that wing will ruin the look of your car! keep the SS spoiler!
now the hood on the other hand paint it !!

I dont think you have spent much time here on ls1tech because you will probably get no praise for flat black paint or ricey spoilers....sorry man

Paint the hood the exact same color as your car.

Paint the hood, and drop the spoiler idea and put that money elsewhere.

Not a fan of the high rise.. But its your car... You wont get very many people saying yes for this one.. But like everyone else said paint the hood body color and maybe leave the sides of the cowl flat black....

If you really like the look of the high rise spoiler then get it. It's your car, and you should go with what you like...but like was said, very very few people on here would tell you to get it. I'd look into another SS spoiler. They look amazing.

Sunoco hood painted will look awesome!
