Question Which would look better?

I'm looking for the best looking/ cleanest looking setup here. Which would look the best?
You can look in my sig for pics of my car

I am going to be getting an Ultra Z hood with MBA aluminum screen, and a wings west grille painted black, Afterthoughts auto power plaque,
---------------------------------------------------------
Option one(carbon fiber):
Carbon Fiber FRC's with 5.7L decals
Carbon Fiber Dash Kit

OR

Option two(black and retro)
Black FRC's w/ 5.7L decals
Paint Stock Dash Parts Black
'69 Z28 emblems on side fenders, and rear panel
-----------------------------------------------------------

So which do you think would look best? I really like the carbon fiber look, however i'd like to get the '69 emblems if it wouldn't look bad?

Lemme hear all opinions thanx.

Just say no to carbon fiber. Unless it helps with weight reduction.

Well, I guess it's ok if it is tastefully done. But not like those damn ricers with carbon fiber everything.

Well i definitely dont wanna do it rice style. Thats why i want to keep a general scheme with the car. I think the dash will look good. then i think the carbon fiber FRC's would look good with the 5.7L decals on them, and they are made for camaros so they would fit right w/o any modification needed. But i'm just thinking that that would be enough CF in the car, and that some '69 badges around teh car would look awesome.....

My goal is to keep the car as clean looking as possible, i dont want it to be over done, or junked up.

I have CF FRC's, CF look lid, painted the lower airbox gloss black. Under the hood looks alot cleaner and I get alot of compliments from it.
Then for interior, I painted the bezel around the radio and the airvents silver, the trim around the door handles gloss black and the plates around the door switchs silver. It doesn't look rice, but makes a change from all the cheap black plastic.
So A bit of both I think would look good.

I'll see what I can do. I am in the process of painting the TNT kit black. I removed the A.I.R system and re ran the wiring that was down the passenger fender to clean the look up a bit. Also re-ran the hood release cable so now both fenders are clear. Other than that, haven't done a whole lot visually. Put the BMR DS safety loop on though.
Texas Is fine. Haven't been able to get to the track as much as I would like. Finaly got my Nitto's so we will see how I do.
