Default Paint Underside of T/A Spoiler?
im going to help my friend do a CETA to his red trans am and i came up with an idea (had it before but i never did anything with it). has anyone ever painted the underside of the high rise spoiler? i did a shitty photoshop of it (MS Paint) and i think it looks pretty good.
here is his car now and stock


here is my shitty chop


and this is where i got the idea again

I think it might look cool in like satin black. Not sure about gloss though. Interesting idea either way

i think it would be a great idea.. I did this mod to one of my old cars (97' DSM) and looks pretty sweet. It would definately be different from the rest of the TA's and look clean

I'm sorry man but that was the shittiest photoshop I have ever seen lmao. It would look pretty sick though if you pulled it off.

Edit: It looks okay on this TA but I still like stock better.

I would do a satin, not gloss black. The gloss will stand out way too much and look out of place. I would also tape off about an inch all around so the black is bordered by red.

I did the opposite on my old T/A, but I did the black sail panel and a black stripe on the hood.
