Custom Carbon Fiber for Free- I need suggestions

I'm building a website and doing some internet marketing for a local shop who do custom carbon fiber work. In exchange they are willing to coat anything I want in carbon fiber (also the work will be showcased on their site)
So I'm open to suggestions on what i should get done. This is what I've come up with so far, feel free to throw out your opinion.

Interior:
- Stereo, HVAC surround
- Shifter surround, ash tray cover
- Interior door handles / window control surrounds
- Handbrake

Exterior
- Stock side skirts/rear bumper/ front lip
- Front grill surround thingy
- Mirrors
- Rear spoiler
- Front and rear emblem/VW logo

Can't really think of anything for the engine bay

my car:

sort of what my engine looks like:

Too much CF would look stupid. That black strip on the front would be good as would the shifter surround but I wouldn't go crazy with it.

in the engine bay you could have the battery box cover, fuse box and the front air diversion plate above the grill be carbon fiber...

I think it would look good.
