It appears there is a stripe of matte black vinyl on the back edge of the spoiler and a half oval on the front edge of the spoiler. I assume it is to make the spoiler appear more sporty, and like an aftermarket spoiler. I kind of like it, especially with the white roof on the white car. I think I might ditch the back edge stripe so it flows better from the side view (maybe then need to increase the oval size so the white isn't too thick and maintains the sporty aftermarket look).

Now I see it. I agree ditch the edge and keep the oval.

Here's another angle...I agree the "chin" spoiler piece doesn't flow right.....may give it one more chance....

I didn't think there was any white vinyl involved.
