Carbon or Gloss Black

[umz]

Hi guys,

Just reaching out for some opinions.

My car currently has a carbon spoiler and carbon tips and in the future will have carbon front lip and diffuser.

I am looking to change the chrome door strips and side vents (stand out too much and i dont like the chrome look), i am unsure on whether to go for Carbon or Gloss Black.

I am firm in changing the door strips to gloss black (dont like the carbon door strips, looks stranger to me), however i am not sure on the side vents, do i match them to gloss black with the door strips or match the with the other carbon parts on the car?

Some links below:

That would have been really handy if i stated that initially.

Its black!

I would say carbon then bc black would just be lost in it and of course it matches your other add ons.

Im going to keep door handles gloss black.

Thanks mate

Not buying them, will be either spray or wrap - either get them done by someone or do them myself - not sure yet

I'd recommend carbon fiber. I also wrapped mine

Those look pretty cool.

I would suggest carbon fiber mainly because your car is already black so it wont really contrast. Also it looks pretty nice once you have some other carbon fiber pieces (like front lip, rear diffuser and rear spoiler) on the car.

I went with IND's "Black Chrome", I thought it has just enough contrast to the BSM to look really good.
