Check out Carbongs, he is def doing the CF thing right!!! He just recently had a feature on tunerzine, and I think if he could his whole car would be carbon fiber .

If you're going VIP, don't get it. Or if you are, paint it.

I'd rock it. Only if I paint it and leave a very small part of it unpainted/faded by the window.

You have a prime example with CarbonGS's ride. No need to look further. However, if you were just getting the hood, it would look great as is, but would look even better painted, leaving some of the CF exposed. That's what Tony's planning on his when the clear coat needs freshening up. And definitely NO if you are going VIP. CF and VIP do not mix.
