Opinion on TB exterior ideas

I was thinking of getting the Seibon Carbon Fiber OEM hood alone with a APR CF front lip. Do you guys think that is a good look or all black is the better way to go?

i like carbon on any evo color so it definitely wouldn't look bad. Just not as noticable compared to the other colors.

I think it'll look good. I've seen a few CF lips in person on Tarmac Black and think it looks great. I have the carbonfiber lip spoiler on my trunk w/OEM wing on my TB and I think it looks great too.

Yes, it will look good, but, the whole carbon fiber scene I believe is overdone. Everyone has these two tone colors with carbon fiber. Try something new. IMO, a TB car which is black all over will look more sleek than one with carbon fiber. A lip may be acceptable but I wouldnt do the hood.

Just my 2 cents.

I beg to differ.

I have a seibon oem on my TB and I think it looks nice. I get props on it quite frequently.

cf lips look amazing on a black car, until you see it in person the pictures are terrible. As for a hood, thats up to you. I have a CF hood on my car and i think it looks pretty good, but thats also cause my stocker got damaged. If i had my choice i'd keep the stocker on there, it just looks better. Small pieces of CF looks good on a black car, large ones look very mismatched because of the close yet nonmatching color setup.
