That's the thing, I can't figure out how lol.

Still learning the ropes with photoshop. How did you add the gloss to yours?

haha, Im not that good either...a good site to check out is: http://pslover.com/author/photoshopchop.com/1.html

They have a lot of info there.

When i did the black spoiler, I selected it with the poly lasso, and then went to Image>Adjustments>Levels.

Then you will see a dialog pop up with a funny graph thing with sliders...I moved the middle slider to the right and it did the gloss black..

Try it out and see if it works for you

Its not 'adding' gloss....its keeping the original glossy look and turning it black

I'm not a fan only because it looks like a black primered piece (just as an example). Looks out of place. If I had an SS, I'd get those checkered stripes that run on the hood and continue on the spoiler. They look killer.

Just my .02

I was going to suggest continuing it onto the hatch.. what else will you have black? If its only the roof/spoiler, i think it will still look kinda out of place
