Hey all,

Looking at those who have use CF for their entire vehicle:

All I can say is yuck. I really don't like the look.

OK, these look nice (I realize that the last two are for the Forza Motorsport game). Perhaps because it is a bit more subtle?

So, what do you think about the whole CF look? Too cheesy for a car or have you seen something that impressed you (picks of the good would be appreciated)?

Thoughts?

P.S. Pink fur is not a good look for any car. Just say'n. http://www.exisle.net/mb/public/style_emoticons/default/fear.gifhttp://www.exisle.net/mb/public/style_emoticons/default/barf.gifhttp://www.exisle.net/mb/public/style_emoticons/default/eek3.gif

Timely...I stayed in a hotel not far from Infineon last night. Parked out front was a ricer w a real CF wing and a vinyl wrap CF trunk. It looked sooo bad I almost took a pic and posted here for the yuk factor.
