I'm getting an m-tech kit and want to finish off the front w/ either an alpine white or carbon fiber front splitter from Hamann. My car will also have 19" OEM 166's, CF roundels, ACS roof/trunk spoilers and potentially front CF kidney grills. Curious if the CF splitter would really finish off the front end matching the roundels and grill, or if it looks more defined in white. CF would be more racey/agressive in my opinion whereas white would look classier.... Any input or pics of either on alpine white?

I would go for the carbon fiber it will set your car apart from others. Since you already have carbon fiber parts it will go good with each other.
