I agree with you - I just think it *looks* dumb when it's not serving any purpose. It's like this: I think a V12 Lamborghini motor is gorgeous. But put that motor in the back of a car that's actually only powered by a 4-cylinder motor up front, and I'll say it's ridiculous. You could say that the V12 should be beautiful regardless, but I think the function is part of the form, and vice versa.
Anyway, people like CF for its look, fine. I think these things are like a high-end version of the chrome wheelwell accents they sell at Pep Boys, but hey, to each his/her own...
I will now
