Don't do it!
From a performance standpoint......this is the LT1/LT4 Performance section, right?..........I must warn you that the black surface in the sun will retain an inordinate amount of heat compared to the rest of the body, including an extended high temperature boundary layer around the spoiler, disrupting the intended airflow and creating unpredicatable and inconsistent lift at the rear of the car, thus detracting from overall vehicle performance.

i like the 2 tone paint on cars, it breaks up the same old color thats on everything and gives the car a deep look to it, and the way that bird has black on the ram air why would yu not do it on the wing. In my opinion it looks great together.
the marvs car is nice but looks to be missing something t me, it has the black on the spolier but needs something to complment it better

Well I posted thislooking for pictures more so than opinions and am very appreciative of the ones y'all posted.
Matt sapp, your car has one of the best looking paint schemes I've seen on a trans am. I'm gonna do mine just like yours with the top ridges on each side of the hatch black. That way it won't look like I took a spoiler off a black car and put on mine.
The rattle can idea isn't bad. I could get it to look good with cans for a while and decide if I like It. That duplicolor wheel paint in cans is pretty good stuff.

Can't really be done in a camaro, looks way cool in on a TA like MattSapp's. I painted mine like themerv's but with a black berger to compliment, but I'm thinking of repating it all green but keeping the berger. You could maybe try taping up and painting the body line of the hatch the way it follows the spoiler to the edge of the windshield like a stripe.

I beg to differ about only a bird looks good with two tone on the hood, it can be dne on a camaro and look very good, if you have a ss hood and the top piece have your color on it and the top os ss wing match seen it and it looks very good.

Looks good to me. Funny though, the pic in your sig looks like the nose is flat where the fog lights are. Then I look at the pic above and it's concave. I thought you had some sort of aftermarket front nose lol! Guess it's the angle of the pic.

Thanks bud!
Thanks..... As for two tone I like the camaros with the roof painted black and a cowl hood or SS hood I think could be made to work along with the spoiler if taped right..... then again I would have to see it...Maybe some of the photo shop guys around here can give some pics to see it....
Yea its just the angle stock front nose...lol
