Kills the contrast of the carbon flash accents with all body color. Reminds me of an old Lamborghini Countach.
You need contrast on this car, it looks flat without it.

I would have never thought that color combo would look good but you did well! That has an exotic look!

If you're going to go that route, you might as well go with green wheels. NOTE: this is in fun. I actually quite like AO in monochrome like this (though orange wheels would be over the line IMHO!).

It does look good, and if you are happy that is all that matters. I personally still prefer the carbon flash trim to give some contrast to the car.

Agreed. I would have left the center piece of the splitter black.

Wing color and splitter color should be a body match option

Luv it gonna do the front splitter the same way if I get one. Looking good and like the wheels. Check out
@Bird67 his wheels are custom painted. I think the standard wheels are fine and only lack because they are “standard” and no one wants standard except for me. Luv the look when they are spinning.

Idk... I really am trying to like it. I guess I'm so used to the contrast that this seems like it's missing something.

This is my Ferrari 348TSi. The later models eliminated the lower black trim. I personally prefer the body color trim. The car needs to make me happy! I wish I had an old Countach!
