I would just get a carbon fiber hood and leave the wing as it is.

I like the way your car is, you don't want to go too crazy. Maybe have the roof vinyl wrapped?

I'd actually leave it as is... If you would've had Carbon sides/diffuser/lip I'd probably add the cf wrapping on the wing but since the lip is the only carbon you have with matte black body pieces I'd personally leave it be.

I think just wrapping the deck part of the spoiler in carbon vinyl might look pretty good and not be too much.

both are very 2006 looks (and didn't even compliment the car then IMHO) ...I'd personally leave it as is and focus on dropping the monster truck stance
