Carbon Fiber and Ultramarine

I've been considering lip kits, like the Rexpeed or Seibon ones, in carbon fiber along with the rear carbon fiber panel that replaces the stock "fake" looking one that Seibon makes and the Zeta carbon fiber spoiler to finish it off.

Is carbon fiber overdoing it and thoughts on it with this color? I don't want a tacky look, and I do really like carbon fiber a lot. I just don't want to overdo it with it to where it starts taking over the car (hood, roof, entire trunk, etc). I just want the fake stuff to be the real deal and add a bit of style to the body. I haven't seen very many in this color with carbon fiber either.

Doggy's carbon fiber interior pieces also have my attention which would go well with the outside.

I think it'll be alright just as long as it's not overdone and not everywhere (like you're thinking). Also, it'll look good with Ultramarine because it's still a vibrant enough blue to contrast with, not like navy blue.

If you want an idea for Ultramarine FRS you might wanna check out what I did to my car. I color matched the carbon fiber lip kit I put on. clean and subtle.

Yeah, just getting some general ideas on where I want to go with it. I just love the carbon fiber weave, but I also love my dark blue of ultramarine. I think the dark color of it combined with carbon should be a nice touch.

That's a nice color match @619_FRS. If I was able to do a dark blue weave into the carbon fiber it would be insane! That would cost way too much and I seriously doubt there's a company that will do color specific weaving unless it is custom done.
