Stillen Splitter: Spray Gloss black or not for Ob. Black G?

Hey guys, I'm at the shop right now and I'm about to install the Stillen Splitter. But, I need some help. Do you think I should spray the splitter gloss black or keep it the shiny matte black? I have a black G.

depends wat style of G ur going for. If u leave matte black then ur guna have to add some matte black to add to the effect like h/l's, rims, emblems etc. If that is ur plan go with the matte!

If you paint it, it is only going to chip like hell and just look horrible in a year.

do you need to use the silver connecting thing-a-majigs to secure the splitter to the bumper? or would the bolts be enough to secure it?

You do not have to use the turnbuckles (or as they are sometimes referred to....the silver connecting thing-a-majigs ), but you need some extra screws and preferably some bolts. Here is what I did and I have had no problems.
