Opinions on CF replacement panels. Please participate in poll!

I always see people, not limited to the e9x community, replacing body panels with CF ones and leaving them unpainted. Im curious to see what everyone else thinks of this.

Note: Im not referring to lips, spoilers, diffusors, mirror covers, etc. Im just referring to unpainted replacement panels.

CF is so 2005; ugly.

IMO i like when its painted and a bit of cf is exposed. i.e. vented hoods with the vents exposed, trunks with the kick exposed etc.

It depends on the car. If the car is monotone, you can get away with exposed CF. If it's a color that isn't dark then paint it.

Painted with a little strip peeking. Had mine painted last week...
