Skip it and go with the Carbon Fiber look.

Wait, no that does not look good either. Unless you re-paint the CF stuff the car color and leave CF stripes.

Yes. Try it and shows us pics. If it looks horible we will ask you to go back.

The cowl covers are those grille-like things near the windshield.

I vote yes for white hoodscoop and BIG NO for white cowl covers. Leave them black. I hate the look of them in white...

Ahh thanks for the cowl info. To me unless you have white wheels I gotta vote no. I think a chrome hood scoop & cowl covers would look good though

the reason i would have wanted white is to match the roof and the mirror covers i think the only thing that throws it off a lil bit would be the grill
