I really like the way that the CF seems to kind of break everything up. It puts it out there so people notice it. I like it mixed.
 
They both look good. I think whatever you feel looks best because you have to stare at it.lol. but either way your going to have a good looking car.
 
cool

cool guys, i guess it's just my mind that keeps me flip flopping about changing my car every 6 weeks!!
 
I say it will look best with cf hood and grill and then the lip colored matched to the car. You have an awesome looking car!! I love those rims, they make your car very tough looking!!

EDIT: BTW I don't think I would ever try to park that close to the curb!! Yikes!!
 
cf lip

Yes, you can paint cf if thats what your asking?? I've seen a lot of guys with just the bottom piece cf and the top painted. Personally I think since it's part of the bumper cover it should all be the same color and then put a cf splitter on it!!
 
I liked it better before but if anything I'd paint the grill and top part of lip spicy orange. Carbon fiber is nice don't get me wrong but now....come on dude!
 
hmm.... you might as well go all out CF e.g: sideskirts, trunk, trunk valence, lip, grill, hood, roof overlay, spoiler too maybe?

but yeah, all one color, or go with the idea above.
 
too much

wow, thats too much for me guy! I'm finish with customizing my ride. I had fun these past 3 years with my mazdaspeed. i'm well over $7,000. everytime i think of it, makes me sick and wonder how much of a monthly payments would be if that went towards the purchase of my 2006 audi S4!!
 
I like the cf hood, but if you're going with a black lip, then you hafta go black all around on the skirt. Personally, I'd paint the lip to match, (yes, you can), and leave the hood and eyelids....
 
They both look good, but I like the look of the cf hood. I'd go with the lip painted to match the body color.
 
im not saying that its too much (its expendsive i know) but make it a project, either painted to match, or CF as listed above.

Whichever way you choose, whatever makes you happy man :)
 
should i paint the whole lip, or just the upper part? personally, i want to paint the whole lip.
thanks for all yall's help!!!

I say whole lip painted, cf hood, cf grill, and cf eyelids. The eyelids might look good painted though.
