Default Black & Carbon Fiber

Trying to get new ideas. Please post what you have or random piks you have. The CF thread sucks. As well as my last thread.

Thinking about

CF HR Hood
CF Seibon 10mm Fenders(I have Gunmetal RPF1s. 18x10.5 +15. Maybe add 5 or 10 mm spacers in front and 10 to 15 rear)

Maybe adding a chargespeed rear. Idk what I could add to that to perfect the look. my car is pretty low

I know of 3 guys in my area with the HR style CF Hood and they all look great. Definitely recommend it.

Does lip/trim kit pieces in CF count? If so, search my username in the "how your vehicle currently sits" thread. I've been posting pretty steadily there - Magnetic Black with Mine's CF front lip, VeilSide CF side wings (recently replaced with some CF side splitters), and Shine Top Secret replica rear diffuser.

My general feeling on carbon fiber against any color, including black, is that it's good for smaller accent type parts but not great for large panels like a hood or fenders. If anything, maybe a carbon fiber roof, which for some reason makes sense to me aesthetically, but not a hood. Just my $0.02IMHO

imo black cars look best all one color unless it's like the bottom edge of the car (lip, sideskirts, rear add on, etc...) i think carbon fiber hoods look best on a color where it contrasts really good like red, blue, etc..

I'm in the same boat as OP. I was thinking of cf door handle cover, cf fender emblem, c-west rear cf add on, nismo v3 side skirt and front bumper.

I have a black Z and the only cf i have is cf b pillars which look nice but will look nicer once I stop being lazy and get some cf door handle covers, emblems and a front lip. Eventually, I'd like to get a full cf lip kit but that s*** is expensive. Right now, I'm just trying to work on power adders.
