I think it's not even a question about the carbon fiber looks.

In hindsight the full carbon exterior package was the way to go but I couldn't get past the $4K price point. The reason for it being the way to go is without it the diffuser and lower bumper area is a greyish color vs with the carbon exterior package it is black. I'm planning to either have my detailer wrap the greyish color with a black to match the Shadowline or go with the AC Schnitzer carbon diffuser and exhaust to eradicate the greyish color from the rear-end. If I go down the AC Schnitzer route it will tally up to the carbon fiber exterior package but then again I may end up with a hotter exhaust than stock. |
I told my sales agent that I didn't want to pay for the $3k carbon or $3k BW system. But I'm glad I got both, although we negotiated a lower price it wasn't quite as much as that added 6k.
In hindsight I'm glad I got both. I'm not sure how much time or money it would cost for aftermarket; however, I know the carbon fiber is now $4k so it went up and I think it's the same package.
