while it's never going to have the WOW factor of a full CF car (which i never quite understood anyway, i think it's nasty looking to have a full CF car honestly), black with CF accents will look very, VERY good. if you were able to set aside that much cash for a full CF project, though, i might suggest getting the car painted to a dark gunmetal gray or something, so the CF accents have something to contrast against.
