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.
OP -- although you say your intent is not to piss people off and Z owners (or anybody for that matter) are free to do as they want, you opted to criticize their choice to wrap calling it silly (or kind of silly) and then proceeded to use the base Mustang with a Shelby badge analogy. When you do that you strike a chord intentionally or not and there lies the problem.

I agree with Kingbaby
