Carbon fiber looks really good. appearance and weight savings together are great. people sometimes are too quick to call something rice. If u want carbon fiber components, check VFN, they can make ur entire body panels out of CF if u have the money.

Putting a carbon fiber hood on the car "for show" is not rice unless they say "That hood makes my engine run better" when all it is is fiberglass overlayed with carbon fiber.. i.e. no weight reduction. I love the look of carbon fiber, and would do my entire car in "finished / show" carbon fiber.. that's not rice, that's appearance.
Until then, all you freaks that use rice so loosely, do yourself a favor and take after the lead of this smiley...

Then by all means pay big $$$ for one and not go any faster. But it looks good

Regardless, everyone needs to stiffle their rice comments and give OPEN MINDED responses and opinions. Rice flaming someone when they want an opinion just degrades the entire forum. There's a reason why I don't go onto cz28 that much anymore -- and it's because you ask for any sort of opinion and it's rice. Don't make this forum as bad.
Back on topic, again as I stated earlier painting the inverse of stripes or flames would be sweet, or doing any sort of paint where the design is the carbon fiber, that'd be cool. My car has a red/black/carbon fiber theme and I thought it'd be cool to have carbon fiber F-1 stripes instead of plain black vinyl, but I'm not ready to shell out that money for a hood.
