Redo?

I have been contemplating redoing all that i have plasti diped( door handles,all trim gas door,grill surrounds... I would do a "redo" in the 3d scotchbright 1080 carbon fiber but wanted sum feed back do think it would look good with my color combo or should i just stick with the black plasti dip parts that i have done? LMK ur opinions!!!!!!!!!!

I would say stay with matte black. The color hot chocolate is not an aggressive/speedy color. It's a very classy and styling color. I'd vote no carbon fiber and keep the styling you have classy. I'd say go for lowering springs

If you, or someone you know, has photoshopping skillz, feel free to use my 3M 1080 wrapped door handles and gas cap from the Pics link in my signature.

I'll tell you though, after wrapping my gas cap, door handles, boot handle, side scuttles and roof racks...door handles and gas cap were the most difficult. Besides my belt line, everything other blackout item on my car is plastidip'd (front/rear light rings, scuttle insert, emblems and bike trays -not photos yet). A lot of people hate on plasti, but if you do it right, it's as durable and smooth as most matte black vinyls.

Good luck!
