Default Carbon Fiber on Alloy

I searched and found a member with an idea close to mine, but i wanted opinions on it. I have a alloy metallic mustang and was thinking of getting seibon's hood and trunk lid in carbon fiber. I think it would closely match the color of the car, but still be noticeable up close. Hopefully not ricey though. Also, i am looking to get a trunk lid with no holes and this seems like a good idea. The hood will have a cowl. No strips or anything either. I would also get the carbon fiber interior kit.
Here is the car:

With this hood:

And this trunk:

Installing this right now:

I think it would look nice. I really love CF trunks for some strange reason

it will look nice, blend well from afar, and give you that pop you want up close....just to give you an idea on the color, when you take a cf hood and install it on a black car, you see that the hood kind of sticks out with a grayish color since the sun reflects from the fibers....the cf will actually blend with your car better than a black car if you get a good quality hood and not one of those cheap cf hoods start to get a yellowish tinge to the clearcoat/fibers after a while....
