Which color of carbon fiber to choose???

I know I post pics with my thread but I'm at work so I really can't.

Question is: should I go with 1: red Carbon Kevlar or
2: Traditional Carbon Fiber
Red carbon Kevlar is not gonna be completely red. It's a mix of red and black for those who don't know.

I'm unsure what to go with for when I wrap my front lip. Also keep in mind that I'll be recieving my oem cf stock hood. Thanks to everyone for helping me out.

Honestly you could go either way with this. Was a hard choice, but me personally would choose all black. No matter what they'll both look good on your car man.

Go with the red CF and paint the part that's black on your current lip on the new one. Oh yea, wanna sell this lip to me after you're done with it?
