New Bars?? Profile Design T3+

So to offset my desire for a new bike I am settling for an upgrade from my t2 bars.

I wanted to go to something more ski tip and read the ST article raving about the t3+ carbon bars.  Sounds like a good option and price is reasonable.  Going for the F-35 pads as well.  Now the question is getting a new base bar.

Currently have the Airwing OS bar...

Is Alloy base and Carbon bars a No No (i.e., do I need new base bars)?

The provset (Carbon) and ozero (Alloy) seem decent.

I am about to get my cables redone so I figure now is the time 

Thanks in Advance!

    I think the alloy + carbon deal is just more aesthetics than anything else. Those are great bars....enjoy!

    Personally I would only go with alloy extensions.     Do not have to worry about tightening things too much.    Profile Design stuff tends to slip around so need to tighten well.       I have crushed a couple carbon extensions.

    Not sure how I missed the responses...

    Went with the combo above - Ozero base bar and T3+ Carbon. Loving the ski tip design of the T3+ - so much better. The F-35 pads (not on all T3+) are wonderful (and also highly rated by Mr. Empfield).

    I'll be cautious with the bars Robin and appreciate the heads up!
