It's like adding a fake turbocharger under the hood for looks, when all it really does is add weight. I don't get it...

I think when people are adding little carbon fiber things like this its stricly because of looks, not weight. Most people could care less (nor be able to tell a difference) it their car now weighs a few pounds more. Some people just like the look of carbon fiber and they way it pops, particularly on lighter colored cars.
