Performance Splitter / Spoiler

I've had my M3 Coupe for two weeks now and I have decided I am not feeling the 2x2 weave of the splitters/spoiler with the 1x1 weave of the roof. The only question now is should I paint them Melbourne Red to match the car or go with Gloss Black to match the window trim and privde some contrast? Appreicate yoru thougths and suggestions.

i would just leave it as is. i know it doesnt look right but most people does not notice the weave pattern on the roof... since its BMW. let it people wont notice it anyways.

Carbon really looks good even on 2x2 but this only applies on OEM products.

anyways if you really cant stand it. Gloss black (but FYI, if you decide to sell it, the value drops like crazy. no one wants painted OEM splitters or spoiler.

Neither... They're NOT next to eachother...hardly noticeable! Especially to a non-enthusiast who doesn't have a clue what they're looking at.
