3 looks. Which one is best?

I have a white 05 Ralliart and need help with the rear carbon fibre. Which one of these 3 rear carbon fibre looks would look the best in YOUR opinion...

1. ralliart style carbon fibre spoiler only.

2. carbon fibre trunk only, without carbon fibre spoiler.

3. carbon fibre trunk with ralliart carbon fiber spoiler.

Thanks guys.

Just an opinion but unless you are having a CF hood as well, don't have a white car with a CF trunk, the hood would balance it. But a CF spoiler looks good on just about anything i think.

This is my vote! But, as someone else mentioned, only if you have a cf hood too. The wing is really not all that functional on fwd cars, and wingless looks badass especially dropped with cf trunk.

I think a cf trunk + cf wing would be a little too much, especially on a white car.

Also, just a cf wing by itself is ok (better be, that's what I have!!!), but they just really stand out on white cars.

unless you are all show no go I would suggest taking into account the already front biased weight distribution our car has. removing weight from the rear without taking an equal amount from the front will eventually get you a front wheel drive pickup truck feel. obviously not as drastic as that example but you get the idea.

Yes everyone, I am getting the carbon fibre hood for sure to balance it out. I need more replys for the rear carbon look. I still can't really decide. So far I like the carbon fibre trunk without the carbon fibre ralliart spoiler, but I really hate to lose the spoiler so I will probably get both. I hope it does not look overkill.

cool man, I think you should leave the spoiler out. As has been discussed many times you will a: never go fast enough for it to be of any use, and b: have a front wheel drive for which it has no use at any speed under 800mph(+/- a few hundred)

Realistically I think it may be too much carbon fiber.

i guess im the only one on here who do the spoiler without the trunk. and i think i saw it on someones car on the forum, a black border on the tails. (think it was retro's) that with the rrm CF spoiler would be sweet.

You could get the cf trunk and put your stock spoiler on it, if you want a spoiler and don't want to spend the $ on the cf one....Which would give you a white spoiler...which would stick out, but then tha's the whole point of not painting the cf in the first place right?

But I'd agree with the guy about the weight distribution.

Actually, this is what I am doing except I am also going to do the LP surround. I'm going to black out my tails but I'm still trying to figure out if it would be worth it to get the CF spoiler and CF LP surround. I think I am going to end up just painting them black instead of getting CF. Then I'm going to get a CF hood with a black white combo that will match the rest of the car.

I usually don't chim in on these type of threads because everyone is going to give a different answer. Go with what you think will look good. If you don't like how it turns out, change it. I'm sure there's a lot of people out there who would buy a part from you that you no longer want because you don't like how it looks.

Ok. I would like to get the cf trunk only. I definitly do not want to get the cf trunk and cf RA spoiler together as it will be too overkill for my taste, and I don't want to get the cf RA spoiler alone as that won't be much of a weight reduction and would end up being only for looks.

CF hood and trunk only! No cf spoiler for me. Thanks for helping me decide guys!

thats my vote, i really like the spoilerless look and carbon fiber trunk/hood on a white car would look sick... i'm contemplating removing my spoiler and keeping a smooth trunk but i dont think i'm that ambitious right now
