Would anyone know how I can go about color matching the chrome finish on the trunk?
I've gone to a body shop and they were kinda hesitant on painting the chrome piece; saying the paint wouldn't stick. Which I can understand. Wouldn't they be able to sand and prep the piece for paint?
I'm assuming that the piece is chrome dipped or plated and not one whole piece of metal.

The problem with the old G35 spoiler is that it looks like two layers of spoilers, what with the chrome trunk lip and all. And that's just weird. Not bad, per se... just something odd about it. There aren't a world of custom options out there that don't look dumb. However, one of Stillen's trunk spoilers looks pretty good, incorporating the chrome lip in its design.
The OEM G37 Sedan spoiler is still the best, IMO. Typically found only with the Sport Package. But if your area is anything like mine, a G37xS Sedan is rare. The G37S Sedan is even more rare. What I mean to say, is the OEM trunk-lid duckbill spoiler could very well look unique to you because of it.
Not here on the forum, but certainly in the real world.

I'm not that sure I want a spoiler yet, but I kinda like this low-profile one

That's the one I was talking about! I like that look, regardless whether or not the chrome piece is painted. Either way, it's very appealing. IMO, it provides a design balance to the underside of the trunk face, and the way the bumper is cut into the trunk so severely.
If I didn't already have the OEM duckbill, then this is the one I would get. It's a clean design.

There is probably a tiny gap in between. Wouldn't want it to fit too closely. I'm liking it more than the Stillen ver 1 which is too angled and doesn't go all the way across the trunk. 07-09 trunk should be the same as 10+ right?
"Soundmike" is the only person I've seen who has that spoiler. Pics on page 4 & 5 of this thread:
