You should consider a color choice that will look good on dark colored vehicles. My F Type R is BRG and does not have the blacked out trim option, so a silver colored Leaper would be a good match. It would also look good on a Carpathian Gray, Firenze Red or Bluefire Blue for example.

To each his/her own...But I agree, it really takes away from an otherwise very well designed car.

I do not think/know that you are in the minority here. I tried and wanted to like it, but just could not. It's all good though... everyone can have their own opinions and tastes. Some appear to like it, others try to dress it up so they CAN like it-ish, some just live with it, and others (like me) just replace it with other options. I chose the Factory OEM option Sport Design Spoiler and really like it (Some hate this one too).

I dunno... I agree that a fully-deployed spoiler detracts from the overall static appearance of an F-Type.
However, showing it deployed at speed is like tossing out a suggestion that there's something more here, plus a challenge. Sort of like lifting a skirt hem to show an ankle, but with a demur "You can't handle the truth!" smile and wink.

Not sure what yall will think about this, but also not sure if it will work..
However after watching this thread basically since it started, I was wondering if somebody a little more talented could come up with a design concept for a piece I had an idea of.
The biggest problem with adding a decal to these stock spoilers is the angle the spoiler deploys in to. So what if somebody could build a contraption using sheet metal bearings and a couple of tools to implement a drop-down panel to display the decal at a more optimal angle, where it could actually possibly be seen by slightly more elevated cars. Not sure if this can be done as I haven't measured the amount of empty space between the spoiler and the body, but wouldn't it be an interesting project anybody could do to their cat on their own? A piece that can deploy and retract as the spoiler does on its own...
