I personally don't like carbon fiber parts and prefer to get them painted to match my oem color. I want a more aggressive look than the spoiler I have now but no luck in finding the psm style unpainted. Do they only come in cf?

Contact PSM and ask

Get CF one and have it painted to match car?

That's what I was thinking too because they only come in cf finishes, just wasn't sure if there was a different or more complicated process to painting a cf part.

I was literally searching for the PSM all day today, I think Ali express had one that could’ve been primed. Will still need painting so may not differ VS CF ones.

Do agree PSM is most aggressive from pics that I can see, and I haven’t seen a single car in person that has one around London at least.

Edit: Just checked history, seems that was the ‘M4 rep’ style. Sorry

Haha it's ok, right now I have the m4 rep one that wraps perfectly on the edge of the trunk. I've been trying to decide for the last 20 minutes to get the psm with the sharp edges or the f82 one that's a bit more rounded and curved.

I have a PSM wing made from NorthWestCarbon on IG and it came out awesome! The carbon is gorgeous, but if you want to paint it you just need to scuff up the epoxy layer with some sand paper and prep like any other automotive surface for adding paint. Just make sure not to press too hard when sanding since epoxy layers can me thin and go fast with low grit. I suggest 100 to start just to scuff a bit, then follow up with 220 grit. By then it should be decently smooth but have a solid binding surface.

I always go to this one body shop to get my parts painted but thanks for letting me know it can be done! I'm still debating whether to keep it as is or to paint it cause I don't have any other cf parts on my except for the exhaust tips. Do you mind posting a pic of yours since your car is black too?
