I'm not personally a fan of CF in my car. I've seen it done really well (2theextreme's hood, much of billet370's interior), and I've seen it done not so well. But as long as the owner of the car enjoys it, that's all that matters.

And if a track rat wants to swap out stock parts for CF ones to maximize vehicle performance, then that's cool too.

over and over.

Adding weight by wrapping is silly. Swapping out to make lighter is expensive, and my hat is off to you.
