Default Carbon fiber.. function over form?

I realize this is totally my opinion but i wanted to get some other peoples views on it as well.

To my understanding, carbon fibers main purpose originally was for weight reduction. Now it just seems like a lot of people are jumping on the carbon fiber band wagon and wrapping everything they can in it. I totally understand body panels and such for making the car lighter.

(again my opinion) I think as a "look" it looks kind of silly and people are going way overboard with wrapping anything they can get their hands on just for that look. In my best analogy i feel like its close to buying a base model mustang and putting shelby badging on it.

My intention is not to piss anyone off and to each their own, its your car do what you will. I just want to see what other people feel about carbon fiber wrapping and overlays.
