Carbon fiber.. function over form?

Replacing body panels/parts with parts composed of carbon fiber usually results in weight reduction. Wrapping a part in a CF wrap does nothing to change the weight and is for fashion.

I'm not personally a fan of CF in my car. I've seen it done really well (2theextreme's hood, much of billet370's interior), and I've seen it done not so well. But as long as the owner of the car enjoys it, that's all that matters.

And if a track rat wants to swap out stock parts for CF ones to maximize vehicle performance, then that's cool too.
