im still a carbon fiber fanboy but my tastes have gone to liking it more for accents now instead of full bodypanels so in a wayt that might have been a fad. i think if your car is stock looking wheels and all then you have a carbon hood or fenders it looks weird. ive spent a good bit of money for some small rare pre preg dry carbon pieces for my car but i think in some cases it can be overdone or more commonly misused

I hate seeing different weaves matched up against one another on cars (especially the interior) like 1X1 next to 2X2 and i think even mixing and matching gloss and matte sort of ruin the look

and lastly im not judging anyone if you do it but i cant understand the new trend of wrapping everything with the 3M carbon print Vinyl. i see it everywhere now and even on high end cars. i just dont get it. It "looks" ok as i used some of it to wrap my gran turismo steering wheel for my racing cockpit but i wouldnt let that stuff go within 10 feet of my car. I get people like the look but if you do it you cant say a damn thing about neons or intercoolers not attached to anything or any of that.
