If the black pack was Black chrome then I would be all over that. If I don't like the chrome when my car arrives then I will switch to carbon fiber. But no way am i putting black plastic trim on my car.

The whole front of the car is painted plastic. And it really depends on what color you're planning on getting.

Yes! They def need to make this an option soon, to include the badges. With all that chrome you might as well put a leaper on the hood.

I tell you, I really like the look of the rear splitter when included in the Black Pack, it really has a piano-black look to it.
The hood and side louvers really don't look that great in gloss black, it's more like they're just there.

If I were to spend money on an upgrade, it would be for C/F hood & side louvers, your eye would really catch them and probably pretty good bang for your buck. Now the rear splitter in C/F would be wicked but the price...ouch!

Color choice...as was mentioned...is obviously an important factor,my car was Polaris White so the B/Pack was a given.

In my case, it's because I got the car used with 2000 miles on it and it didn't have the black pack. In the OP's case, I'd he/she isn't sure its desired, it would be a way to get the same look but have it reversible. If I had ended up getting the car new I would have definitely ticked the black pack option. But I knew I wanted it.
