The black handles and badges look great with the red.

Welcome and congrats. Nice looking car, love the red. Not usually a fan of painted stocks but they look pretty good. Get a shorty antenna and lower a bit, springs or coilovers depending on your budget and ultimate goal you are wanting to acheive. I would say coils.

Lights would look good and I'd leave it at that. IMO carbon fiber always looks over the top. A CF trunk is almost modding just for the sake of modding.

carbon fiber looks fine as long as you don't get carried away.

Looks really nice! Like what others said, figure out your goals for the car (performance, style, breadth of a bit of all etc) and have fun. What are the specs of the car (year/milage/current mods)?

Also the black and red goes great! Is there a reason you left the side emblem chrome?

Welcome!
You are off to a good start.
Before you start your mod list,think budget.
No sense planning something that there is no way you can afford.
It appears from your post that you are more interested in the "looks"
department than performance.Thats OK...But remember,anything worth
doing is worth doing well.
I'm not a fan of black stock wheels.Stock wheels made a hyper-black/
gunmetal look pretty good.I think the CF approach is a good one.If you
check my veh pics you'll note that I went pretty strong in this direction.
Good CF parts are not cheap.I'd suggest a CF front lip.The CF trunk idea
is a bit too much.Not gonna add anything .Will look out of balance.You may
want to look at a Blitz rear spoiler painted/rear part CF.This would balance your
front lip if you decide to go that direction.Also,some Shine Spec-S CF side skirts
would pull everthing together.You are talking $1,200+ for those body mod parts.
You could install yourself.
I'd plan a wheel change in the future if you do the body mods.
The OEM wheels will become very dated after your body chages are done.

If you stick with the stock rimes get spacers to have them sit flush with the fenders.

The car looks nice so far, if suggest a shorty antenna, and new wheels. Those will do for now. As others have mentioned cf parts are sometimes over the top and cost quite a of $...

If you do buy them, make sure you get quality...
