Carbon fiber or Gloss black

Hello everyone i have been hereon the forum for a little while while now, and i must say i have seen some very nice cars. I am slowly in the process of modding my 2010 535i. hopefully it will come out half as nice as some of the ones i have seen here.

but i had a real quick question. i tried to do a search for pics but came up with nothing. i have the M-sport pkge on my car and was planning on switching out the rear diffuser and adding a front lip both in carbon fiber, but i also just got my roof painted gloss black. so i was thinking should i just have the stock diffuser painted black along with the lip i deiced to go with, in order for them to match the roof? the car is alpine white by the way. just wanted to get some opinions from guys who have been doing this a little longer than me.

thanks in advance
Dane

carbon is dark enough that the gloss black roof would compliment it. what color is your ride?

Mine is light gray, i also have the front splitter and twin exit defuser in carbon along with some carbon mirror covers, i was contemplating having a carbon wrap on the roof but the carbon shade/pattern would not match up so decided against it. The gloss black is loads better and also looks good on lighter cars

You got any pics
