Talking Carbon Fiber Spoiler on Starfire Pearl

Im thinking about getting an OEM Carbon fiber spoiler but I am not sure how it will look on the starfire pearl.. What do you guys think? Does anyone have any pics of CF spoilers on a starfire IS? Is $400 too much or a good deal... Never really bought CF so don't know very much about it.
Heres the spoiler im looking at...

if your only cf part is the rear spoiler... i wouldn't do it unless its painted~ MAYBE a roof spoiler yea but not a deck one... IF you wanna do an eventual panda then get it but wait to get the rest of the pieces lip/skirts/rear/hood/paint roof black.

Yeah, it's a bit tricky when going for the CF look. Sometimes you don't have enough CF parts and sometimes you have too much CF. There is a guy on here with the perfect look. I think his name is like RobIS250 or something like that. With all that being said, it really comes down to what will make you happy...

You may be able to pull it off, just depends on your cars theme, post a pic of your current setup now and maybe we can tell if its a good idea or not.

I recently bought the TS style carbon fiber spoiler for my SFP car too
After I put the spoiler on my car with no other things in carbon fiber, I realized my car looks odd with just only one thing in carbon fiber.

Afterwards, I painted it in SFP to match my car's flow.
