Spoiler color help

Hi I have a space grey metallic 550 and I wan to install a spoiler. I wanted to match the black from the lower part of the mirrors and the window side panels. Does anyone know what black is that (code or name)?

Its kind of gloss black some people tells me is jet black others Black sapphire Metallic...

One more question.. should I go with black or match body color?

The Shadow line trim around the windows is not a metallic color, I would guess that it is Jet Black or similar.

A third option would be to match the dark grey color of the lower trim piece that surrounds the exhaust tips on the rear bumper.

If it's the smaller M-sport spoiler, I'd say color match it.
But if it's the larger M Performance CF spoiler, I'd keep it CF.

I matched colors, I'm happy with that.

Ditch the stock rims first. Priority one. Then think about other body parts.

If it were me and your car looks basically stock I'd just go with a painted spoiler. Now if you were thinking about doing some aggressive mods like changing out the diffuser and adding a roof spoiler I would say go carbon fiber.
