Talking Carbon Fiber Spoiler on Starfire Pearl

Im thinking about getting an OEM Carbon fiber spoiler but I am not sure how it will look on the starfire pearl.. What do you guys think? Does anyone have any pics of CF spoilers on a starfire IS? Is $400 too much or a good deal... Never really bought CF so don't know very much about it.
Heres the spoiler im looking at...

if your only cf part is the rear spoiler... i wouldn't do it unless its painted~ MAYBE a roof spoiler yea but not a deck one... IF you wanna do an eventual panda then get it but wait to get the rest of the pieces lip/skirts/rear/hood/paint roof black.

Yeah, it's a bit tricky when going for the CF look. Sometimes you don't have enough CF parts and sometimes you have too much CF. There is a guy on here with the perfect look. I think his name is like RobIS250 or something like that. With all that being said, it really comes down to what will make you happy...

$400? get the OEM ISF spoiler, cheaper and better IMO + painted.

You may be able to pull it off, just depends on your cars theme, post a pic of your current setup now and maybe we can tell if its a good idea or not.

I recently bought the TS style carbon fiber spoiler for my SFP car too
After I put the spoiler on my car with no other things in carbon fiber, I realized my car looks odd with just only one thing in carbon fiber.

Afterwards, I painted it in SFP to match my car's flow.
