I'm not a big fan of the carbon fiber showing through on the exterior. Just to Euro and trendy for my taste. This is one of those deals where time may not treat it kindly. Now, I do like it for the function, weight reduction. How about exposing it on the bottom side and painting the color stripes you like. Painting a car is a big deal, pay Ben to slap some different color stripes on the car before it's final.
Just for kicks I did this. Please excuse my terrible photoshop its late and I just wanted to throw an idea out there. Imagine the stripes done on both sides and the strips are uniformly spaced and probably a little wider to show more carbon fiber.
How about gunmetal,charcoal stripes? If you still want some red, do a very skinny 1/16" red next to gunmetal or silver to give it some depth dimension.

I am currently going through the same ordeal because of changing the color of my wheels. I spent four days in the Bay Area last week to help a buddy out and part of that journey landed me in a high end sports car/hot rod consignment shop.
If there are any high end sports car/hotrod consignment businesses in your area I highly recommend visiting one or two. Checking out the paint schemes and wheel color choices helped open my mind a bit.
