I'm beginning to really dislike CF panels anyway except on black of dark grey cars. It's really, really played out at this point. Just too clashy for my tastes.
If your going to carbon fiber something like a hood or any body piece for that matter then its been to do it right and buy the piece made outta real carbon fiber. I don't think carbon fiber is played out, its just everyone forgot that too much carbon can be a bad thing & if you add too much it can ruin the clean look of the car. If I were to get a vented carbon hood, I'd paint it either all white or just leave the vents showing the carbon while the rest was white.
