Painting rear spoler!
The Focii' already has a good bit of black trim on it, and the racecar in me thinks it would be pretty cool to be able to paint the rear spoiler black to match my wheels, anyone have any idea how much of a pain it would be to get that sucker off? or have any experience with this.

I think it's only 2 or 3 screws to get it off, but I actually haven't looked at it on our car yet

You can try plastidipping it black while it's still on the car. That way, if you don't like it after a while you can pull all back off and still have a perfect condition, nonsprayed spoiler underneath.

And that way the matte finish matches the plastic black trim pieces.

Cover it with 3M Di-noc carbon fiber vinyl. Check it out on this Youtube video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEQiQhm6n4g I installed it on a friends motorcycle, came out great.

Your best option, if you don't work at a bodyshop of course.
