Dry carbon parts are lighter, most of the parts available are wet carbon, which is usually a fiberglass layup for panel strength, with a thin layer of carbon on top for aesthetics.
Wet carbon is more of an aesthetic choice than a weight choice.
Unless you paint a dry carbon piece, the texture will not be visible
The only way to get wet carbon fiber to be visible is for them to mix the body color paint with clear coat-- like 10-25% paint to clear ratio. It will always appear darker though. Just more 'intentional'.
The option I've wanted to do for a long time is a carbon painted hood with stripes or scoops masked off to reveal the carbon without being the entire hood of a non-body color
