Spoiler: Matte Black or Carbon Fiber??

Need some opinions on what route to go with. I have an Alpine White F30 M-Sport with gloss black kidney grills, M Performance front lip in matte black, M Performance rear diffuser in matte black. Should I just stick with a matte black spoiler or go carbon fiber? There are currently no carbon fiber parts on the car so I'm not sure if a CF spoiler will look out of place.

This is the CF spoiler I found at a reasonable price, not sure if anyone has had any experience with eBay carbon fiber parts.

Thanks in advance

I bought my cf one on ebay and the general rule of thumbs seems to be that u'll be better off sticking with the Taiwanese sellers as generally the quality is better. That being said it wont be as perfect as an OEM piece and there could be small imperfections if u were really looking for them. I couldnt justify the $4-500 the oem cf cost so i went with an ebay piece and i hvent had any issues with it

Matte. Matches the contrast from your matte lip

Just found this post of another members AW M-Sport build. He/she has a matte black lip as well as a matte black diffuser and has a CF spoiler. Based on pics alone it looks pretty damn good and not out of place with the other matte black parts. Only difference being the carbon fiber mirror caps which I have no intention (at least not yet) of getting. Even more confused now.

Thanks for all the suggestions
