Agreed. Get them painted to match the car.

Just leave it alone don't wrap and paint them PY

Looks better in my opinion, but if you like the CF look thats cool to.

Two nice examples

Do it or just paint it black or cut it out of the bumper.

Paint them PY. The only time they look good without being painted are on a black car.

if carbon fiber were utilized to reduce weight and you wrapped your rears in them... wouldn't that add weight? seems kinda counterproductive. i mean, it's cool and all, but i guess i just don't get it. bottom line... who cares what we think? more power to you, brother.

yeah that happens alot.. CF is ment to shed weight from the car but people are always trying to find new things on the car to wrap just so it looks "cool".. honestly, imo, useless CF that is put on just for looks is ugly.. i can understand a trunk and hood and maybe other things like fenders etc.. that actually replaces the part with lighter CF.. but valence kit in CF thats just retarted :x.

I personally like it with PY when the center section is cut out completely. JjjunR is like that. Regardless, it still needs to be painted.

The pieces draw the eye to them, rather than adding to the collective portrait of your car. As others have said, I'm afraid they are tacky. Its your car though, and if you like it rock it. If not you can sell them, paint them, etc.

I have to agree, it just looks tacky like the car was put together with junk yard parts or something. But as everyone is saying....its your car.

Why do people insist on adding body kits their Type R's? The Integra has very graceful bodylines and bodykits break all of that up, especially when unpainted.

Even the OEM kit looks kinda silly on an ITR. That's part of the reason they are so rare...no one really wanted them back in the day. If the search went back to 01, I'd say look it up.

This is the way it should be done....
I would hurt to paint the CF yellow after paying the money for it.

it's your car, tell us what you think of it?
Do you like it? or do you think it should be painted? You're going to have ppl tell you what they think about your car. You're going to get a lot of different responses when in reality, your opinion is the only one that truly counts. You drive the car everyday... what do you think?
