Question Why Carbon-Fiber?

Just wondering why people on here like carbon fiber so much? I read all the time about CF overlays for the interior pieces, FRC's, and hoods. Dont get me worng I know CF is light weight but I personally think it looks like crap. Nothing is worse that seeing an unpainted CF hood, shifter ****, or anythings else made to look like that.

Now when CF is done right, like the 04 ZO6 vette with the hood painted and just a stripe showing through or fenders painted to match the car thats cool in my book. But most people put this crap all over their parts too say it's lighter, can you say "rice."

This is just my openion, but wanted to know why everyone likes it so much. Anyone else feel the way I do? Or am I the tard? Sorry chrome is the only way go!

let me sing you my carbon fiber remix song and maybe you'll understand...

Carbon Fiber is forever
It's all I need to please me
It can stimulate and tease me
It won't leave in the night, I've no fear that it might desert me
Carbon Fiber is forever
Hold some up and then caress it
Touch it, stroke it and undress it
I can see every part, nothing hides in the heart to hurt me

I don't need diamonds
For what good will diamonds do me?
Carbon Fiber never lies to me
For when Diamonds gone
It lusters on

Carbon Fiber is forever
Sparkling round my Body Pannels
Unlike women, the carbon fiber lingers
Men are mere mortals who are not worth going to your grave for

I don't need diamonds
For what good will diamonds do me?
Carbon Fiber never lies to me
For when Diamonds gone
It lusters on

Carbon Fiber is forever, forever, forever
Carbon Fiber is forever, forever, forever
Forever and ever

***Bottom line, carbon fiber looks amazing, its lightweight, its the msot ridgid lightweight material available, and adds that race car look

It is unique, but the wing, mufflers, and front end got to go! All the CF looks like crap except the sail panel since it is molded into the window triangle.

Carbon fiber - at least it's one thing the ricers will agree with regardless of rivalry.

(I'm not for the look of CF accents except maybe black because it blends.)
