My car just left for the paint shop this morning. I also have the T/A spoiler and when I disassembled the car I found the paint pretty worn under the spoiler. Just wondering, looking for idea's on how to prevent that when I go to assemble it again?
Your post reminded me of this and thought I'd ask thinking maybe you might have an idea, or someone else might see this and have a suggestion.

When I first looked at your paint color I was kinda like " not sure about that color" but when you get assembling it looks better. That being said I said the same thing when I bought my car home ( sublime paint) and put it in the garage for the first time. With the all white drywall it looked like a nuclear reactor when I turned the garage lights on. I remember saying out loud, good grief thats horrible I gotta get it painted. I really wanted/liked Go Mango. My kids said no way leave it that color it's cool! So I started adding all the black accents, T/A hood , spoolers rear louvers , and the side stripe. I was happy then, but not at first.

I have to agree, the colour is looking better with a few accents to break it up.

Went to see it today for myself. Snapped these pics.

Windshield squirters and spoiler decal installed.

Body shop is going to have this car finished even before you get it home

The glasses on the fender would have me stressing....
