It all makes the owner look like a poser wanker IMO, or someone that wants to appear to be a punk kid.
I painted my CF bonett body colour and even added the windscreen washers. THAT is a properly done mod IMO. If someone wants to know if my CF bonett is real, all I do is have them open it....and let them feel the weight, which is the REAL point afterall. Not running around with bare CF panels to show off.
Does that mean the E46 M3 CSL was only owned by wankers with no style? Did that look like a cheap, shit car, with it's factory carbon fibre roof?
I assume cars like the Veyron SS and Zonda R are also wanker cars too?

Contrast well with the paint job and give it real purpose and aggression, as well as making it look a bit more modern (though the white paint helps that a lot).
You seem very very opinionated and, judging by another thread, easily offended too. We all like different things at the end of the day. I don't think someone having a carbon panel unpainted makes them look "cheap". Can't be that cheap if they've bought genuine carbon panels
As for this debate....I generally think it does look quite shit in most cases, but I have seen some cars pull it off quite well. It depends on the rest of the cars styling tweaks really.
Don't even get me started on that stupid "carbon" wrap though. It annoys me that people even call it carbon! What it should really be known as, is "expensive fake carbon vinyl cos I'm too tight to buy the real thing". If we go back a few years, you would be laughed at for having fake carbon fibre, yet now it seems to be perfectly acceptable
