Can black cobalts pull off CF?

This is one of the biggest self-debates for me..

I feel like any other color car can pull off carbon fiber except for black. (I.E. CF Hood and Trunk specifically).

What do you guys think?

Any pictures of a black balt with a CF hood/trunk (no wing)? Help me out people!

Thanks!

I think they can.. For the most part it's just your own opinion but I've seen a couple black balts with CF hoods and/or trunks and they look sharp.

I really don't like carbon fiber hoods/trunks (especially trunks) with a few rare exceptions... But, I would say black/grey pull it off better than bright colored cars do.

Jeeze that makes me want to see some pictures now. Hopefully the dudes with the black/CF balts step in pretty soon to put a strong emphasis on convincing me... Seems like it wouldn't look too bad...

I dislike CF on black. If I ever do get a CF hood/trunk I'd paint it black to match. To me CF makes a black car look dirty

I think black and cf look great. My biggest debate when buying my balt was color knowing that I was going to put as much cf on it as I could.
