+1; wrapped would not match anywhere near the CF parts you have now.

A CF vinyl GFX rear will look out of place on your car. Of those two options, I'd go with Seibon, but you might also consider the Fabulous CF Rear Canards to match your lip. Not many people (if any) have that.

That would be good, although just getting a Seibon might be cheaper than getting a GFX + professional CF overlay.
