Yup. Unless you're going to the track, most carbon fiber "upgrades" are for looks anyway and as you said won't really benefit the driver in a noticeable way. Back in 2000, I put a carbon fiber hood on my Honda. Zero changes, but I at least did that since my stock hood was damaged and needed to be replaced. I got a carbon fiber trunk on my Evo last year, but again, it's because there was some damage to the stock part, so I figured why not.

I agree. I can't believe how overweight some people are who drive quick cars but talk about how they want their car to be as light as possible, and they're stripping interior parts out and going with carbon fiber hood, doors, trunk, etc.
