Default Black w/carbon or White w/carbon

Trading the auto in for a new '07 tC w/ the 5spd and just wanted to get an idea of what other tC owners think. I'm set on either black or white (I've seen several tC's of these two colors and like them both) and will be getting the kaminari evo style spoiler and have it painted to match, with the upper cross section of the spoiler replaced with carbon fiber or at least given a carbon fiber look wrap. Also plan on getting the Raiden style carbon fiber hood. My question is, will those mods look better on white or black? Also anyone with these parts already installed (especially on either color) please post up. I'd love to see how they look on the car. Thanks! :D

Yeah, I was thinking the carbon fiber would accent the white better. (Give it the Mine's wannabe look, ) for real though, if I went with the black it would blend better but I dunno if I really want that or not. Either way is a clean look so I'm still undecided. Hoping for pics if anyone has them so I can decide which color works best with the carbon.

Lol. Too funny, I was just saw your profile in color discussion under Super White and was checking it out, came back to this thread and saw your post. Good job on the lip and the cf. Looks good. How much was it to retrofit the HID? I know there are a ton of posts on SL about doing that, but just curious.

I did my retrofit back in winter break and it costed me about $500 plus alot of time haha But IMO the price on the retro parts are slowly dropping.

Noticed you're in S.F. PM me if you're in the Sacramento area sometime. I'm interested in seeing what that lip and cf hood look like in person.
