Side skirts choice: CF or body color?

Hey guys,
I finally decided to buy the side skirts but I can't decide which one to get. To me, they both look great and priced about the same. BTW, I won't get the front splitter because I don't want to damage it within a week or two.

What would you guys buy if you are in my situation? Let's see some more pics!

If you have other CF pieces add the CF skirts. If not I would go with body color.

I would go with the body color. CF is nice but with certain exterior colors it looks like some add on that does not always flow with the lines of the car. I think with Black, CG, AW, the CF looks fine in IMHO, other exterior colors not so much.

Definitely do not do bodycolor.

Looks like crap.

The car needs something to accent it.

I agree - I think you need some contrast to make them stand out. Plus if you don't run splash guards, the carbon fiber will be more forgiving and not show the chips near as bad.

on this note, whatever you do, make sure you put that 3m clear bra stuff on the vertical pieces just in front of the rear wheels or they will get chewed up. front splitter needs it also but since you're not getting one......
