need some aerodynamic advice

so, I have a dilemma and I need some mini minds to advise me, please.
I have an 05 jet black mini with a silver center-stripe. I am thinking of getting the palo uber wing extension piece, which comes in black (to match my car) or in carbon fiber (I have no cf on my car at the moment). but, I am also considering the m7 front splitter, which is also cf.

so, here is the question: do I get two carbon fiber pieces to match? or, go with black on the factory wing and let the splitter be cf? or look for a black splitter? hmm. black splitter, now that is an idea. okay, so that is three questions and a comment but any help would be appreciated! gotta get my car spiffed up for the mountains.....

I'd stick with the black. Just my opinion.

I agree with Ed, I'm thinking if you've got the "real black" paint as I call it, I'd stay with that. CF is kind of like a color unto itself and seems to go with about anything, but all black is a look that can't be beat...

Well I am all BLUE and have the CF front splitter and rear wing and its cool, I think. In your case I would paint'm BLACK. Have a buddy who was in our club til he moved to Denver and he has painted everything Jet Black to match his car and its cool.
