need some suggestions of what to do.

I like to have some opinions or suggestion (maybe some pics) on the following.
I bought a cf hood and probably a cf trunk soon.
My car is white.
I don't want a black trunk and hood over a white car.
I saw the concept BMW Tii and I kind of like it. However the trunk is white on the BMW Tii.
I like to keep some cf as is and maybe paint or had some stripes.

Please, all suggestions are welcome or pictures.
thanks all.

For the Tii, the whole hood and trunk are painted white, but then they added the performance Tii stripes on top of the paint (it's not painted on). You can get those at your dealership, the part number is 51 14 0 442 627.

If you want some CF exposed, what kind of hood did you get? Is it OEM style, or does it have vents or other openings? If it has vents you can leave the vent slats CF and paint the rest for a nice contrast:

Or you can have stripes done by just covering part of the hood with tape and painting around it (don't waste the money on the performance stripes if you want the CF to show). For this you obviously wouldn't even have to use the Tii stripe design since you could lay the tape down any way you want it.

The hood is VIS Racing Sports auto with 2 vents.
I like the hood all white except for the 2 vents.
But I was thinking of something a little different if possible.

Thanks
