Graphite Gray or Phantom Black?

I was wondering what color would look best overall. And which one would look better with carbon fiber hood, trunk, lip, etc. I've been searching and searching and their are no pb's out there with cf parts installed.

Its not Phantom black on IX and VIII's. Its TB, and i think CF on black just makes it look dirty.. dont look much better on GG either

and i agree with importjake. cf on black offsets the color
i prefer cf's on a RR or WW
but that's just me...

CF on gray or black doesn't look bad, it just doesn't "pop" like it does on a white, yellow, blue, etc. color.......

Yeah, a carbon fiber hood on a black evo doesn't make a ton of sense because most carbon fiber hoods weigh more than stock. The only reason you would be doing it is for looks, and it doesn't stand out much on black.

I thought cf parts way less than stock, thats basically the only reason I want cf, but now I think ima go with black for the evo and just get a body kit or something.
I was wondering what is the maintenance on a black car.
