Exterior Carbon fiber versus Night Package
which of these two looks better?
will the front louvres be gloss black in the night page and in the Carbon package?
will the gloss black be more subject to scratches and swirl marks?
how does the exterior CF wear?

FL or original?
In general, yes, the black will swirl unless you're careful, but then CF will chip/starburst if hit by stones.
CF does give the car a great look though, particularly the rear valance.

I was trying to decide on factory Carbon package vs Night package . The rear diffuser would be nice but subject to more road rock, chips and gravel.
The night packGe seems to loose detail with black on black.

While the Chrome Pack sounds almost instinctively wrong, it is actually a satin/matt finish in metal.... particularly nice on a silver car

on a black car I think you are wasting your time with either. You cant see any contrast with either material, especially at the multi thousand dollar cost

So the two triangular windows and rear windshield are all tinted black?
I guess that helps a lot . So if I went with the Night package , I would be better off adding the pano roof.
If if I get Carbon fiber package, would a solid roof be better?

Its standard with Night pack.
If you want the Pano, just order tints in addition.

I have a 2017 cardinal red with the night package. The rear windows were not tinted. If they were it wasn't noticable. I had them tinted with the darkest ceramic tint my shop offered and now the windows match the pano roof. I also had the rear emblem delete and replaced the rear star with a gloss black one.

I think the 3/4's are very noticeable.

Xbox, is that after market tinting?
If I get the Carbon fiber package, will it be included as welll for the $5300 price tag?
Will the car look less less aggressive than with the Night Package?

Only Night Pack includes tints.
IMO, CF looks more race and a little less moody than Night.
.... can all be changed with colour choice and wheels though, so you'll need to work on a complete look.

I like the look of the pano roof and tinted rear windows.
i also like the look of the Carbon fiber diffuser.

My car will be in Magno Night Black (matte) so I opted out of CF exterior because I was worried it wouldn’t show well enough to justify a £6000 option. The roof is CF along with night package as standard. No brainer if the car was a light colour though

Black interior?
hmmm, not my cup of tea. Waaaaaaaay too dark for a sport car. Now as the Batmobile......you will need a cowl and cape for sure.

Yes with it being a Satin Black finish I thought the gloss black fin, spoilers, lip and mirrors would compliment it better and stand out. I like the matte and gloss theme on a car. I feel the CF has a brownish tint to it which doesn’t compliment the matte black as much. Plus £6000 more expensive where gloss is standard.
My second choice paint if I wasn’t able to get a individual colour would’ve been the solar beam yellow which I think needs the CF exterior
just my opinion
