Opinions on Vinyl color for spoiler

I wanna add vinyl onto my g37 spoiler. I dont really like the reflection spoiler. I wanna add either black carbon fiber vinyl or red carbon fiber vinyl. Any thoughts or pictures of ppl who have any of those on a black g37? Thanks

heat gun is recommended to stretch the vinyl nice and tight. if you don't have one, just use a hair dryer on low fan but high heat.

Since your not gonna do it color matched, gloss black or Carbon. Stick with something that will blend. But. If you wanna do a contrast, do a metallic silver or brushed silver type of look.

Be sure to remove the lip and tuck the vinyl under the back edges, if you just cut it flush it will ripple along the edge. It might be tough to get a good wrap on the loose lip so you should keep it attached, get it wrapped all the way to the edges (leave about 1/4" overhang) then remove it so you can end wrap it. Once you wrap the vinyl around the edges you then do a final heat seal. Just heat pretty high along the backside edge and press it tight against the lip as you run the heat along the edge, this will insure a tight ripple-free seal.
