carbon fiber grill anyone?

my cars white and i just watched a video on laying carbon fiber and was just wondering if any of you guys ever did this to your stock grill?

The plan is to do a c55 bottom half of the front bumper with a CF lip and do the grill and do like a M3 CF diffuser for quad exhaust for the rear, and maybe my window trim in CF on a white car with black windows taillights etc.

any thoughts are welcome

i actually got the car with the black trim, the owner before me pulled them off a clk55 and just swaped it instead of painting and worrying about chiping and what not later on

I thought 2000 was the year the window molding was changed to Black Hematite. That year also introduced body color door handles, side blinkers moved from the fenders, black Birdseye maple trim (V8), the multifunction steering wheel, redesigned instrument cluster, dual direction one touch windows, touch shift, and the infamous brass bushing in the transmission was done away with. Of course, I'm sleepy, so I could be a bit confused.
