I work with a guy who has a black pearl STi and his looks really nice. So my vote is yes.

I personally think CF only looks good on black and white cars.... so I'd vote yes as well.

Sorry, I disagree. On most CF equipped black cars i've seen it looks like you got a bad paint job. CF is more of an off black and so you go from a black car, to off black, to black (fender, hood, fender). I like it on blue and white and sometimes on red.

CF on black is sexy.
Just make sure you keep the car shiny and clean.

If you paint over CF it loses the CF look. What I have seen look good on black cars (any car really) is CF painted with a pattern that lets it blend, but still show off the weave (such as the APR WRX's)

tastefully pulling it off is hard to do in any setup...but yes it has been done before very well many times

Perfect combination, very subtle but distinctive.

i love the cf on black, there should be a forum that has alot of pics of black cars and some of them have cf in them so you can get a idea of what it looks like but i have always though it looks slick. but really its all personal opinion, so try looking for other peoples pics of them.
