I would do it black vinyl.
Not a fan at all of the fake carbon wrap look, just looks cheap and nothing like real carbon.

You might have issues getting the Gloss wrap to stick to the black plastic on your lower bumper...


Mine is Painted being an Ed30, so isnt a problem..... Red with black gloss extra's looks good and a great combination imo..

God help you if you don't like it. At lease you can remove the wrap as a last resort.
