Go Matte black on the raised part of the hood, roof, trunk like your original idea. Stay away from the stripes.

This is a black matte. Notice how very little light reflection there is.

Satin looks *much* better on a Lexus. Our car does not have the right "character" to make a matte theme come together.

I think it looks good on black, but personally not a fan of exterior CF. Just my opinion though.
