Yo guys, I recently bought an original Saleen S281 wing that is painted black from coupe50h on here (not sure of the exact name ha). Anyways I want to put it on my CW Cobra but I'm unsure if I should leave it black or just paint it white.

I'm leaning towards painting it white because later down the road I want to get some chrome saleens. The car currently has black bullitts which I'm tired of. They were on my GT for awhile too.
I thought about going with a "storm trooper" look, where I would get some dark tint, black 03/04 termi rims, smoked headlights, black s281 wing, and possibly black tailight bezels, oh and with that combo I think some rear window louvers would sick (might get hated for that haha).

But I'm not sure. Here's a test fit picture of when I first got it:

Thanks for the input skittlez, that's exactly what I was thinking but most of my friends and the ladies think it should be white. If it goes white I better get some from the girls, just sayin'

Musturd & Ferocious will do tomorrow morning after I wash it :) Been months since I've washed her.

Maybe white wing to match some chrome saleens or deep dish non polished 03/04 rims. Dude on youtube is the only white sn95 I've seen rock that (deep dish non polished termi rims) and it looks flippin' amazing.

I have been holding off for over a year to install mine after painting it. I now have the money to do it and you have me considering painting it black....

I am going to try mine black, can always repaint it.... My problem is that I really want the whole car repainted. I have a hard time spending the money to get part painted when that part could just go to the overall job.

I'm another vote for painting it your cars color, you dont have enough black throughout the car

Looks like the majority votes on painting it the cars color. I actually think that is what I'm leaning towards since I've always wanted to make it look classy with chrome saleens and OEM headlights with the s281 wing like the pics Whistler98 posted. Now looking at it from pictures it doesn't really fit being black since like you guys have said there isn't much other black on the car to justify it being black.

PS I really hate my wheels.

Thanks Whistler98 for posting those pics and reminding me of the goal.

Here's some other pictures as requested, sorry for the crappy camera work (samsung galaxy s2), I'm just not good with taking pictures haha:
