Since when??

The CF trend has been around for years!!! A few people really use CF for weight reduction.

Yes it has been around for years... PAINTED. CF should be used for weight reduction. Why else would you replace a body panel or door panel with... another one exactaly the same if not for weight reduction?

I can understand a lip or wing left unpainted but what's the attraction to CF being a "cosmetic" touch? I mean seriously... it's just straight up ugly!

edit: I guess the problem lies in the "trend" part of it. But to each their own!

I agree with you 100% as far as big items like hoods and such, but as a cosmetic "garnish", to me so long as it is jet black cf, it's no different than having a black garnish item.

That said, flat black works fine for me, and is a lot less expensive.

I really don't understand unpainted cf fenders -- looks even more out of place than an unpainted hood -- ugh


To the OP: Might as well put extra clear on the cf -- it will look like dogshit if it starts to turn yellow...
