Should I have my chrome spoiler painted?
I have to take my car in to have the door repaired and was thinking of having them spray the chrome "spoiler" while I was at it. The chome works with my rims but I was thinking it looked a little cheap. Should I do it or should I wait and just add a wing?

I like it how it is. No other cars have a chrome spoiler like the g37.

Just get the Bat Overlay for the chrome, cheapest and easiest fix. You might be able to apply it yourself without messing them up.

Theres a pic to look at but it looks better in person. It makes it look like its part of the car instead of a piece of chrome slapped on the trunk.

That is SEEEXXXY! Perfect balance of light and dark. If I knew it would translate that well in red, I would do it in a heartbeat. BTW I did contact BlueBat about an overlay and he wasn't sure if the G37 red was the same as the G35. I wasn't either.

Put on the spoiler and get rid of the chrome!

I'm not a fan of the chrome at all.

Yeah OEM spoiler looks the best. But if I couldn't get one, I'd definitely go w/ the Bat overlay.
