Too much cf for the exterior?

Not my car, but Kareem's. Same color as mine and same kit I want. But this is what I am planning on doing with Tim from Sleek Concepts and Design's help. Do you think this is too much.

I already have OEM cf hood and cf evo grill, and will have cf trunk (possilbe cf wing, but not sure if I want to drill into the cf, probably not)

So does anyone think this would look good? Almost like a cf lip kit, but on a body kit!

I don't think that looks good... I do think a carbon fiber body looks good but once you go more than hood trunk and front bumber... It looks tacky unless you do the whole thing meaning doors roof fenders everything... I say just do trim stuff or do the whole thing the pic you showed looks like you started to do the whole thing but didn't finish. thats my opinion.

Maybe just the front lip? Or maybe just the piece on the bottom of the intercooler cut out (just the center piece)?

There is no such thing as too much CF!!!! haha, that was the exact same plan that I had for my car ( hood, trunk, lip kit, etc. ) but just don't have the funds so for now I just have trunk and CF front lip....I say if you want it do it, you'll be the first......maybe

Hey if anyone could do a better cf job on the pic, please do, I think it would look better if it was done to look like it was real cf... maybe put a cf evo grill in there to so it's like my car.

Here's the pic.

I think an evo with a complete carbon fiber body would look tight probably more than I can afford but it would look and feel sweet (loose over 100 lbs)

Haha thanks! A LOT better!

Could you do the whole hood and possible cf evo style grill? The open one.
