am i the only one?

[eclimax13]

im not trying to start any fights or wars here but am i the only one who doesnt like the carbon fiber look?...

[AMfan27]

No. I like some, not too much.

Personal Opinion.

[enigma1406]

I like CF accents, but anything big should be painted.

[black00A4]

I think it depends on the colour of the car, for example volcano black would look sick with carbon fiber.

[itsbigj05]

^^I agree. the color of the car has a lot to do with being able to pull off the carbon fiber look.

[eclimax13]

ya...i just see posts of someone who does something in cf and everyone goes nuts over it...meanwhile im thinking to myself..."thats pretty damn ugly"

It's all in the execution...

A full CF, unpainted Pagani Zonda F is a work of art. Jethro's SRT4 Neon with CF hood, CF spoiler, CF B-pillar covers, etc. is a piece of shit.

I agree with the trim piece comment. If it's done tastefully and CONSISTENTLY, then it works. I think it looks like crap when there is a CF door panel, aluminum dash panel, CF shifter, etc. Some Porsche owners pull that partial CF crap and it looks awful.

I had the gray birch trim in my S4 and now CF in my RS4. Since it's only around the shifter base and beltline, it looks fine. If it was all over the place (shifter, instrument cluster, etc.), I'd hate it.

Generally, I am a bigger fan of titanium/aluminum. Very functional, ages well, and never looks trendy...

Yea i personally dont like them unless its the inside trim of the car. So many people here on audizine hate on people saying THAT LOOKS RICEY, but i think putting carbon fiber all over your car makes it look like you just went to the Flea Market and had a field day.

I steer away cause it gets so misused now-a-days. I generally don't like it cause it just screams ricey. But I have seen situations where it's done right, done tastefully, and usually done sparingly and I've actually liked the end result.

But the ricer crowd really kind of ruined tasteful CF for the rest of us.

I have the CF in my S4, and I think it looks good. As mentioned above, it's not all over the place, and it is used with good restraint. At the same time, it's good CF. The weave is not all over the place, uneven, etc.

So, I think it can look good.

There are some people that put it all over everything, or don't pay for quality, and then it looks tacky.

on the right color car i love a CF hood painted with the center left untouched. Also the CF rear bumper spoiler is awesome with the right color car.

I just saw a Red Toyota Celica with a CF gas cap lmao... the ricer crowd kills me

[1EightTAvant]

I love cf, but it can definitely be way overdone. It is simple to do tastefully, and can look great on most cars, but these damn ricers love taking shit over the top and ruining it for everyone

What do you guys think of Carbon Fiber interior dash trim? I'm still on the fence whenever I see it, but I think if it were in my car I'd like it.

[black00A4]

Anyone have pic's of a Valcano black A4 with some CF???

I prefer the aluminum, but the CF looks good, too. It doesn't bother me, that's for sure...

My dream for CF:

The Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang edition, polished aluminum bodywork and cleared CF, Raw and unpainted...... sexy as all hell....

Bugatti EB16.4 Veyron Pur Sang
With a 1001-hp 16-cylinder engine, 253-mph top speed, and price tag of about $1.5 mil, the Bugatti EB16.4 Veyron offered proof enough that certain aspects of automotive one-upmanship may have gotten a little out of control. And now this: the Bugatti EB16.4 Veyron Pur Sang, an even more exclusive version of the big bug that eschews paint in favor of showing its carbon-fiber and aluminum structures for the world to see. The price? A cool $2 mil. Only five will be produced. Ever.

[Chris from Cali]

This is the perfect CF to me:
