Default Question...how does the black stinger stripe match up with the exposed CF roof panel?

I have a 17 Z on order, it hasnt started production yet so i can still change some things. I have the exposed carbon fibre roof panel ordered, and I went with the black stinger stripe on the hood, as I figure it would match up nice with the hood vent, and all the other carbon flash pieces on the car, including the carbon flash side skirts, chin spoiler, aero etc. I'm just curious of how it will match up with the exposed carbon fibre roof panel? Is it somewhat the same shade? Is the exposed roof panel still pretty dark in comparison? Just curious if I should go with the exposed carbon on the hood as well. Somewhat torn. I know there are many pictures out there but I haven't seen the two in real life, and figured I would get some actual input. Any pictures showing the two will be appreciated though! Jordan

The hood stripe is a simple decal so it "presents" a bit differently than the multi hued CF roof panel. Might want to spring for the CF hood to match them up?

Do all those items in visible carbon fiber (ie splitter, side skirts, spoiler, hood, roof).
Mixing not so good, should be the same for a great overall effect!

Yeah the only thing is some parts are still black. Like the hood vents, side rear upper and brake sucks, the front fender insert, so that's why I'm going with all black ground effects package. I'm just not sure the best way to match everything lol

I have that arrangement. It looks good, IMO. Matches well.

From a distance you cannot tell, but up close, and especially in bright sunlight, you can definitely notice a difference. Nonetheless, it is certainly not bad looking... and still flows well.

Thanks for fellas! I'll probably stick which just the black stinger stripe. Come to think of it it must look pretty good considering that's all they offered for all of 2015...
