I'm the odd one out I guess. I think that looks bad against black. At first glance it looks like an unpainted flat black piece. But I agree it's so subtle that you don't realize it's CF until you get closer.

The picture does look strange, however I realize now that you cant properly picture CF against black without a ridiculously great camera.


I just saw some CF on black today on a different make, and damn does that look fresh. Especially when it comes to accents, not full body panels (like sideblades, instead of the whole side skirt) it stands out nicely.

Yeah, the gloss of the CF part sometimes doesn't translate well to photos. Usually, the gel coat is pretty glossy and reflects light well enough to be taken for a painted body part at first glance.
