Default Cf on black Z

Been thinking of adding some CF parts to my Black roadster but unsure how CF looks on pure black. I have see Cf on most every other color, just curious if it stands out or gives a good contrast.

Does anyone have any pictures of a black Z with CF parts on it?

Before my Z I had a black c280 with cf front lip, spoiler, and cf diffuser. IMO I thought that it looked very good. Very slight contrast and not too flashy - just don't overdo it. People go carbon fiber crazy!

Was thinking about the same, just unsure if it would even be noticeable for the cost. Thinking something minor like side mirrors or something small.

CF on black looks good. It's obviously less visible from a distance but if you are a fan of CF it does make for a nice touch.

Thanks for the picture, car looks great and so does the spoiler. I just doesn't stand out like on other colors. I think it comes down to if you really want some CF on your car then having a piece stand out...I may still do the mirrors but that will be the extent of CF.....

Wrap the Z in Matte Black, then any CF you add will stand out times 10!!

Haha Ztoon, I might be coming up to your area...if the weather still stays good I might get in on a Canucks game. I wouldn't even make it though the pass if it got hit with snow like the other week but got the itch to get one more good drive out of it before I put her away till spring.

Hey man, don't jinx it! I'm hoping for at least all of October before hibernation.
