Can't decide whether to paint match MB wing to nitro yellow or leave as CF

[ReiH]

I have a nitro yellow and not sure whether to leave the CF EOS MB Wing as is or paint match it. I have my own bodyshop so painting will be easy but can't go back once it's done. Anyone have any reference pics? I haven't wrapped my hood to black or anything either and I feel that compliments the wing greatly.

They make vinyl wrap that is the same color as OEM colors, maybe you could wrap it first to see how you like it before committing to paining?

^ I personally think paint matching looks better, but it is personal taste

It's hard to see in this photo, but I went half and half with mine and love the way it turned out.

Left the underside as CF?

Yup!

Not nitro yellow but I left it CF exposed. I think it CF exposed looks great on nitro yellow.

@GhostSZN @Ekin95 for your wing's bolts. were they long enough to just be bolted in and hold the wing? I'm looking at these bolts atm and tried fitting it with the wing but man these are short!

I bough longer m6 bolts so I could put a decorative washer ion them and it turned out perfect.

Mine were, but I also popped the plastic trim out and bolted it directly to the trunk as opposed to through the trim as well, if that makes sense.

Personal opinion exposed carbon is way better than color matching it. However, if you're going to paint it then why a get a cf one it's going to be more expensive.

I personally love the half-and-half look like @GhostSZN has, a few of my clients have done that and it looks great, you still have the carbon look when you look up close but looks more cohesive as a whole from a distance when it is paint matched in my opinion
