They look like **** unpainted.

You have to realize the general public is not going to have a ******* clue it's carbon fiber; they will either think:

1) It's dirty as hell
2) It's faded or has shitty paint

It does not look good.

looks best on black since it "blends" more when unpainted.

Fuckem. I think it looks dope. Most of the "general public" wont even realize its c/f until they are a few feet away. I had my hood on the car since DEC. and my sis just noticed it a few weeks ago. When people see my car no way in hell do they think its dirty or that the hood has faded because the car is so clean. They just ask how in the hell did I get it painted like that and then I tell them that it is c/f.

The general public doesn't have a clue about cars period. If it's a Supra, it's automatically a 5 second car.

I love the way it looks, not only for its weight. It's better for me anyway, less attention to my car.
