+1, I think that's a clean look leaving just a little CF exposed.

I am not a fan of unpainted CF parts... they look incomplete and out of place and "slapped on" in my opinion... but that's just me.

As a lot of people said, full CF looks unfinished to me. Some cars can get away with it depending on color/theme, but it's not my cup of tea. I prefer the diffuser painted with the lip part CF, like many of us do.

Here is another option that you don't see too often. Again, not my cup of tea, but may be someone elses. Sick IB none the less though.

lol, it's pretty sick. There are a few things that I am not too crazy about on it though. It can do without the carbon fiber pieces on the rear window and not so crazy about the rims. I like the black, but not the style. No idea what the exhaust is though. It's got some hugeeee tips.

Looks unfinished and out of place on a lighter color car. Kind of like when you see a honda driving around with a body kit and he ran out of money before he could get it painted so he left it black plastic LoL.

I like the subtle style. Like the "GTR" hoods with only the vents left CF, and CF CSL trunks with only the lip of the wing left CF. Looks way better, but that's just my opinion. Different strokes.
