I think a 2-tone paint job red on top divided by a white or silver pin stripe would look nice.

on a budget.. hmmm..

you could try subtle differences like painting or trading the oem grill for a different color.. a gunmetal or dark gray maybe? it's hard to tell by the angle of your pics, but try going with something matching the color of your wheels. they look gunmetal-ish unless the color on the pics are not WYSIWYG..

to me, black boxes have the advantage of being able to hide body lines. if you use that to your advantage, you'll stick out by following the 'less is more' train of thought. I don't know if going with CF will give you the WOW factor you are looking for since, as was pointed out, the CF and black won't contrast as much as say white with CF..

there are a bunch of good suggestions already posted above, i guess it depends on your budget though, of course we'd all love to rock the expensive, high quality, good looking stuff..

*edit* try looking up eight08customs' ride.. he has some CF as well as a kit, grill, rims, drop etc.. a nice BSP box if i do say so myself.. sorry, don't got pictures on my work computer to post.. maybe later
