OP,

I understand what your saying, and I agree for the most part. I think everyone that wraps their stock parts with CF knows they're not saving weight. It's only for looks.

- To the untrained eye ... no one cares.
- To the car enthusiast ... "Look at all that carbon fiber!" ... "What? It's just wrapped parts"

Although ... I like the look of CF in small quantities. CF on a rear spoiler or inside door handle inserts is very classy. Just a touch of CF to add taste.

Most of those interior parts are wrapped, which does irritate me! I would like to see some companies casting the original parts and making molds with modified tabs for mounting.

All in All ... it's a trend that has become easier and more affordable for people in their living room to make "real" carbon parts by simply wrapping their stock components.
