Default Opinions Needed! Carbon Fiber on a DB?

Ok, first of all I just got a prototype Junction Produce carbon fiber spoiler.. it looks amazing, it looks a little like the Ings+1 but a little better IMO, i'll be posting pics within next couple of days..

These are my options.. tell me what you think would look the best:

1. Paint the CF wing blue and match it up with the blue Veilside V1 Lip.. and keep my stock blue hood..

2. Keep the JP Carbon Fiber the way it is.. and add a CF Hood to match the CF wing.. w/ the V1 Veilside painted blue..

I think if i paint the wing it will look a lot classier.. but will defeat the purpose of a having a CF wing.. but at this point i have no matching CF pieces.. and CF hoods are expensive! Let me know what you think .. pics of this new spoiler will be up shortly! TIA.

I have Veilside CF lip and some CF side wings on my DB Z and think it contrasts well, but a hood and spoiler may be too much. I'd say paint it and maybe leave some part of the spoiler unpainted as an accent. I don't know what that spoiler looks like though. Good luck.

The Veilside will be painted blue.. the CF will be the hood and wing...

OR

paint the wing and have no CF anywhere..


Do you have any pics of your car w/ the CF Veilside?

I have seen some SEMA show cars that Troy Lee Designs have done that have featured a ton of C.F. that have been painted with a tinted clearcoat that matches the rest of the paint but you can still see the carbon under it. it looks like the color of the car from far away but close up it shows all the weave... Awesome!
