Carbon fiber can look good in moderation. Too much is well, too much. My S4 had carbon inlays on the door panels and dashboard and I liked them better than the aluminum trigon and stainless alternatives. If you don't like it, guess what? You can get something different. That's why they offer options.

Never said I could afford one, you threw a blow in the dark and I responded... But if I add my annual income it without any other focus in my life it could equate to one eventually. Same reason I won't ever have a R35, too much money to be wasted after the purchase and not an investment I'm willing to make no matter how often me and the woman throw it across the table.

I agree. There is such thing as too much CF! I would never wrap the out side of my car in CF. IMO it looks dumb. If anything I would use gloss black. But everyone has there own taste and occasionally there's always the one guy that car rock it on his car. Just my $0.02.
