Carbon Fiber Wrapped Radio?

I've never used a pre-cut kit, because I personally liked using 3M Di-Noc Carbon Fiber with the added ability to wrap the material around edges and corners. See my car below:





However, I just saw a new idea on this pre-cut kit. The face of the radio was covered in carbon fiber. What do you guys think? Should I do this section too? Would it be overkill? Does it look cheesy to cut around the white wording? Just curious as to your thoughts...

the only reason why i think it's over-kill is because I can tell it's a wrap.
but it's not my car, and if you want to cover the radio to match the rest of your center stack, get to wrappin!!

Didn't stop you from putting the diamond grille floor mats.

LOL it's your car man! if you want a cheap project to work on to "complete" the carbon fiber pattern, do it mang!
I know some of my projects get weird looks, but I dont care cuz it makes me happy. Happy modding!
