Photoshop Experts - custom painted Hamann front lip!

Hey All,

I have a TiAg E90 330Xi and am having the carbon fiber vs. painted hamann lip predicament. My car has a moderately aggressive stance and will have black grilles so leaving is all CF may be an option. Typically when I can't decide between two things I just get both, so I'm wondering what it'd look like with a custom paint job.

Here is what I'm thinking:

1. Painted sides with the entire middle section exposed CF.

Or

2. Painted sides with a half inch line of paint across the middle section on the top edge of the lip...this would give it the appearance that it's completely painted until you get up close and are able to see that behind it is the CF.


Could anyone Photoshop this? Thoughts in general?

Why don't you start with a pic of your car, that helps...(not trying to be rude that's just how I decided to word it).

This isn't the best angle for this but since I'm at work this is the best I can do until later tonight.

Oh, also could you black out the grille in the pshop? I will snap a picture from front and center angled slightly down on the car when I finish up work...unless someone thinks a different angle would be better.
