Adding a rear spoiler: Body color painted or carbon fiber? Anyone have one in blue?

I have a new-to-me F32 in Estoril Blue Metallic. I am planning to add a spoiler, but can't decide if it would be better in carbon fiber or have it painted. Carbon fiber looks good, but I've been leaning towards painted, but haven't seen many pictures of painted ones (except black).

Does anyone have a spoiler in Estoril Blue color on his/her F30/32? Would love to see some pictures.

I had carbon on mine originally and changed to blue. I like the blue one better myself but in these pictures it’s a very subtle change.

Did you have your carbon fiber one painted? Or replaced it completely?

I ordered this one and, given the low price, my expectations weren't high. I ordered it because it comes pre-painted and his feedback score is 99% positive. When I got it, I had it installed by someone that works at a body shop. He commented to me that the color match was perfect. Once I placed the order, it arrived in 2-3 weeks.

Actually, I’m now leaning towards black to match the other trim parts on the car. But now trying to decide if I want the straight across one, or the M style with the notch in the center…

IMO body color looks like it belongs. CF looks ricer.

I have an Ikon motosports B45 painted spoiler. Link is to same company and color code, but different style spoiler. The one I have is a little less aggressive, but no longer available.
