Carbon fiber would look clean.

I think that Carbon fiber accents with the silverstone paint look fantastic. I say carbon, and it will coordinate with your wheels as well....

Better be getting some carbonfiber sides or something to match the carbon fiber front lip.

IMO anyway.

Don't get a front lip then. The frotn of your car will hang lower than the rest of it, and it'll look goofy and out of proportion.

+1000000

If you want a clean car, then get some subtle sides/rear. Moar flushness = moar cleaness.

Yea id say if your going to do it, do it right. i feel like its unfinished on a car like a z when all you have is the front lip. When its finished you would have a very sic car with those gts's and all.

I'd go with the carbon most likely.

The VeilSide lip is pretty mild and the "black" look of it will go well with your wheels.

carbon fiber or frp painted to match your wheels. if you get the carbon fiber make sure you get it sprayed with a uv protective clear coat. ive seen a few genuine carbonfiber v1 lips start yellowing after one summer in the texas sun.

+1 on the frp paint matched to wheels. IMO the carbon woudl look outta place since there is no carbon on the rest of the car but that's me. I think a black lip would accent the wheels and tinted tails nicely. But...carbon always looks good. Tough call but I think for your "clean look" I would get paint matched to the car or wheels. Are you still black housing your headlights?
