Sheeeeeet, the right way= profesional when it comes to painting. If your painting it black to go with your car, a profesional auto painter can match the black to your car, remember that black would be a little lighter than the new black that you would put on.

i really don't feel aluminum wings so i would suggest not having one at all... But anyway if i was forced to have one (like a life death situation) I would leave it silver (assuming its silver). Especialy if you have a black car you know what im saying??? :bloated:

yeah... it depends on the color of your car. if its black go silver, if its silver go black. but if your car is a FWD, dont bother with a wing... its only for looks and it increases drag.

do i have to go into the "if you really do autoX, then the wings acually serve a purpose" speach???
