Default Black on Black or Black on Carbon Fiber

About ready to buy a trunk spoiler and roof spoiler.

Yes I have my own opinion but would be curious what your guys is from whomever would care to share it. I've thought far too long and hard about it lol.

Getting TRD style rear bumper as pictured. Also will get roof spoiler. Both styles I've chosen are made to color match or in real carbon fiber.

Color match or carbon fiber?
My car is Obsidian black.

And if carbon fiber, do I wrap each piece so they match or go with real CF pieces which may vary in carbon fiber thread.

IMHO, I’d just do it to match. If you’re going to do cf wrap, you could still go that route with original color underneath. If you like the wrap then, you keep it, if you don’t like it, you simply just remove it. Win win.

I have black on black but I am considering the black on carbon fiber route though.

That was my thought exactly. Just over thinking it a bit so threw it our there!

Decided to wrap as I think I want a two-tone black with a matte carbon fiber.

Ordered painted roof spoiler to start and vivid dry carbon fiber. Just enough vinyl to cover the spoiler in case I like it. If not I'll keep searching.

And besides, that way I get the satisfaction on making a purchase but without the commitment of making a decision.
