Poll: All CF, All glossy black, or Mix of both
Trying to get peoples thoughts on mixing carbon fiber with glossy black.. or should you stick to one across the board.. doesn't matter what color car LBB, AW, whatever just want to hear your thoughts.
Example: glossy black mirror caps, side grills, front grills but CF lip, spoiler, diffuser, exhaust tips etc.. Is there a tasteful mix or stick one!? Lets hear your thoughts! |

I will most likely mix; I have CF mirror caps. I want a diffuser, and most are CF. So when I get an new spoiler, that will also be CF (to try and match the diffuser). However, I may go with a polyurethane/composite/whatever material for my future front lip, just because I know I'll be hitting my driveway and other street hazards with it. I'd probably end up destroying a Cf lip...

My thoughts on this issue. Regardless of the car's color, I think the carbon mirror caps improve the looks because the stock mirrors are so large and the black makes the mirrors "disappear" more, so you don't notice them as much. I like the chrome kidney grill surrounds on black and gray cars, and the black kidney grill surrounds on white and blue cars; it gives some contrast. Not a fan of the black side gills at all and I'm still debating the carbon rear spoiler; I think the size and shape is perfect but I think it would look best in body color.

@Denso thats a great idea, I like it.
I might just get the spoiler in Carbon and then after a while paint it LBB.
