Any NSX-R spoiler owners who painted to match body color?

It doesn't look good imo. For body color I prefer the oem wing.
+1, It looks a lot better in CF than it does in body color. The stock wing flows with the lines of the cars and the R wing does not. That fact is accentuated when it is body colored.
What am I looking at? Hard to tell in that last pic.
Thanks. I think that actually looks good. Maybe because it's white.
I think the white looks good also.
Ric - any pics from the side or front angle?
I usually don't like Type-R wings unless on a Type-R, but that white one looks pretty good. :smile:
What i have seen at the NSXCE tour on a silver NSX is the side supports were painted, but not the horizontal wing itself. It was looking okay along with the hood scoop.
Uhhh, black is probably the most difficult to base an opinion on.
If you do it just get it cleared with a touch of your paint color added. It gives the appearance of the color of the car but when you get up close you can still see the weave. I generally do that with customers restorations.

I have a black car and I was totally on the fence on a type r spoiler left in exposed carbon fiber. I was on the fence because pictures don't come out right on it. Once I installed it, I fell in love with it. It really beefens up the rear, especially with a 02 valance and a mode 4 carbon diffuser like I currently run. It's very hard to photograph. Just save the Oem spoiler if you replace it.
I have yet to see a downforce or a new pride type r spoiler with the original curved construction. I have the seibon type r spoiler. It truely is flat across. However I kind of like it. It matches the tail lights which are straight as a board. One thing I
like about the seibon I currently have is from the side, there is no large hump at the start of the spoiler. It sits flush.

I have a no brand purchased from Yahoo Japan. Its basically the type r raised higher, no stop light. Looks good in black, not sure how it would look painted, not really a fan of the colour matched ones.
