Also do not want it to look cheap after all the money I have spent. Is there such a thing as too much cf??? I love the way it looks....
no such thing as too much REAL cf!!!

I think there *is* such a thing as too much carbon fiber. CF has a real place in automobile construction--just ask Lamborghini! But pasting a CF piece over an already-functional part (like a door handle or B pillar) could make you look like a poser. Of course it's a matter of individual taste, but if you ask me, I'd say paint it--either body color or some other color that ties in with your car, like the brake calipers. (For the record, I have a gunmetal Z with blue calipers and I intend to paint the handles blue as well.)

I have to totally disagree but I guess I am partial to carbon since my car has quite a few pieces on it. I think anything you choose to do can be done tastefully. This is one reason these parts are so in abundance because so we all can make our own choices and accessorize our cars how we see fit. I mean we are the one's that have to like since we are paying the note each month. I say do what makes you happy and if thats driving around with your seats carbon fibered then happy sliding!!

Just my two cents!!
