A current pic of your car might help.

In general, if the rest of the car/wheels/trim is alread black (you mentioned black grilles and even the CF roundels are 50% black and pretty dark at that) then you may want to finish it out in black. The one piece of CF may not work well.

However, if you other silver/chrome/alum contrasts (window trim/wheels/lower grill) then the Cf may help add to that nice contract. My car is BSM with silver/CF contrasts. I like the way it break it up and helps add a touch of elegance.

I can appreciate the aggressive blacked out look but not on me.

I personally think CF is somewhat played out. Don't get me wrong, it can look nice, but often overdone IMO. Hence, I would go with the clean BSM aero w/out the CF.

Now, REAL carbon fiber roofs like the ones on the M3s are SICK!
