Default Opinions on this mod?

I have a black lexus is250 and i was thinking about using:

http://aerotect.net/catalog/product_...596a5f57ef8f5c

this carbon fiber overlay on that pillar part between the windows. First of all do you think this will look good against the black? or should i just keep the clean finish of black...

also im gonna wrap my grille, should i wrap it in carbon fiber to match the other carbon fiber? should i use matte black with the carbon fiber pillars? or should i just do the grille matte black and not do the pillar carbon fiber at all...please give your suggestions!

Carbon fiber grille and pillars. Wrap your interior too. That way there's a "theme."

yea i kno i can rip it off but im not the type of person to do this work myself and imma get a guy to do it. so all of the installation along with the parts cost like 300 in total and although that doesnt sound like much money im only 17 years old and make low income... rukkus what u think about the matte black grill? u think i should go carbon fiber?

If you do it, wrap your interior as well.

ahhhh you guys make me second guess it...ive actually never seen that part of the car with cf so im not completely positive if it would look good or if it would just stand out and look wierd. and yes i already ordered the cf for the interior.
