I think the white color match looks alot cleaner. The Carbon fiber doesn't flow, but its doesn't look bad. I sorta like both

White.

With the CF, at a glance it looks like unpainted econo-plastic, until it dawns on you what it really is. But even then, I just think the white looks best.

Depends on what you wanna do styling wise. I had that CF license plate garnish on my 1C0 GS. (millenium silver) I also went with CF eyelids,frt. lip,side, rear lip,roof spoiler. That was a very aggresive setup. More drift styling then VIP look. My friend who set up his GS thought it was extreme. He perfered the clean common look on his kit. My Quest Power kit was exclusive & unique. The rear bumper was as wide & boxy as they come L-sportline style.

They do ;)
It's not pure white, it's got a silvery pearl to it, the way black carbon fiber has.

Hey Kenji! Nice to see you here from CL. But from the looks of it, I think it's up to you. They both look good so the bottom line is...go with your taste =)

Are you shaving your inner taillights?

If you are the white looks much cleaner.....both look good.....Personal choice.
