Default STOCK fender or CARBON FIBER fender?

I just got car accident, and I need to replace the hood and the fender....

Is that a good idea if I buy the carbon fiber fender? or keep it stock?
for the hood I will still use the carbonfiber hood...?

Please give me your opinion... thanks
Or any of you have the car picture with the cf fender

my car

Yeah, don't do it. I am starting to get sick of the whole carbon fiber craze. The funny thing is that I own a cf hood. Oh well selling my car soon. I see too many ricers with carbon fiber now. Just buy some stock fenders.

the white eg with the cf hood and fenders is ugly. maybe it might look good if u finish it off with a cf bumper also but mismatching like that is wack

CF Hood or OEM Hood, and OEM fenders. Don't get CF Fenders. Just a waste of money.

why even buy em then...he said he wanted em for looks
on a few cars the carbon fenders have looked ok but it usually looks kinda weird...if you have a lot of other carbon ****, like lip, hood and spoiler then it wont be bad
I'd keep the carbon hood tho, fenders i am neutral about

carbon fiber fenders+hood looks like your car needs to be painted. but most people know what a carbon fiber hood is, so i would keep that.

not feeling the carbon fiber fenders. leave it stock. the carbon fiber fenders are a waste of money and they look like fenders there weren't painted from far away.

How much do those run. I saw the fenders for the S4 on 'MonsterGarage' the other day on a Nogaro Blue Audi S4, kinda dug them, but I'd agree to go with whats cheap.

i'm not sure of the exact weight of th CF fender, but stock fenders don't weigh **** to begin with. i honestly don't see any weight difference between the two.

Too bad they don't make a carbon fiber bumper to match.
they do make CF bumpers.

If you go with the cf fenders they will look retarded unless you paint them to match the rest of the car. i really wouldn't bother with them.
