I saw an E46 M3 that was blue and he had a CF hood and the body shop did a very light coat of the blue paint and some clear and from a distance it didnt look CF but up close you could see the weave, looked great and was more of an understated CF look

yeah painted CF is good
plain black CF to me means ricers
ppl who paints it means theyve got some class and wants a bit more performance by decreasing weight

honestly i dont think cf is really that rice at all or that it takes away from the vip look.. carbon fiber things are not that cheap and honestly, i dont see why not.. i think it looks alrite and if some guys like it then more power to them... i think it would look frikkin damn good on a black car or any color if the scheme flows well..

i would NOT say putting black CF is rice...however i would say that it strays away from VIP style at least...when you talk about crown majesta, president, q45, LS430, etc...the VIP owners for those cars rarely ever put CF on their car...and in terms of chassis...they are the baller VIP cars...just my 2 cents tho

cf is supposed to save weight, etc, implying a race or racey type setup
i think sitting on vip wheels, air runner, or other vip-esqe parts is the exact opposite
this is a 4 dr rwd sedan, not an soarer...it takes away from the look of the car imho
keep the styles seperate, and either or looks great. vip aristo or turbo raced out aristo
dont mix n match and look like a gender confused dude in too tight jeans :O

EV ftw!!!
This color scheme on a blue car looks perfect. I wonder how it would look on a silver car though...........
