Wing question

Do white and red JDM MRs run the same wing on the Graphite Grey or is it just a black wing?

I don't think it's CF. I think that the wing is just painted a color that is very similiar to the Graphite Gray.

Anyway, to answer the original question, I believe that all the JDM MR's have that color wing. Here are some pictures:

Red:



Graphite Gray:



White:





Silver:

On mine (GG JDM 8MR) the sides are painted body colour, but the horizontal 'wing' part is CF.

I thought people came to a conclusion that the side pillars to the wing have a different paint code than the rest of the body (on a Graphite Gray).

the USDM 8MR wings are dark charcoal on the sides for graphite gray cars
the USDM 8MR wings are body color on the sides for non-graphite gray cars
the USDM 9MR wings are body color on the side

Ummm... may be I'm missing the point here, but mine is CF. It came like that and it's shiny and has that fine checkered pattern and it's black. Seen the same thing on a white one.
Alas, never seen a red though...
