LS coupe and C/F?

Im ordering the strafe speed carbon fiber trunk. I have a lakeshore coupe. Im painting my stock rear valace flat black.

I'm debating whether i should paint the cf trunk? or paint the roof black.

does anyone have this combination on a cf coupe? or even silver?

thanks.

I personally don't like CF or black on LS. Painting your rear valence black will be fine but I think the CF trunk will look out of place. If it were me I'd paint the trunk LS.

i had the body shop leave the trunk C/f for now..... Just checked it out today, and it was kind of growing on me. Already painted the diffuser flat black, which was the best idea ever. Waiting on the grill and front lip to get on and some polishing...

I'll probably leave if cf for a couple weeks, then take it in to get it painted over. I just want my car back already..

I am planning on getting the silver CF (texilium) I think the silver metallic in the LS will compliment it nicely...
