Default Carbon fibre fenders

One of my sales reps is trying to sell me some CF fenders for my Malachite Green 5th gen coupe, I do have a CF hood and i was just wondering if anyone else thinks this will look as funny as i do.
Here is a pic of my car for a reference.

I wouldn't like CF fenders wouldn't flow at all... it would look like you got into an accident and replaced them with junkyard ones...

only do it if your gonna paint them , or are really strictly hardcore about weight

which it seems you aren't with those huge heavy wheels

Sweet 5th gen...I've never seen those rims before, they suit your ride very well. As far as the CF fenders go....I'm not a fan of anything CF so I wouldn't get them at all, and like someone already stated, they would make your car look like a junkyard project. So I say no, save your money and spend it elsewhere.

Yeah, your car looks nice. and it would look stupid if you did not paint them, even though I saw a civic like that in Super Street or Import tuner that was red w/CF hood and fenders, and it looked sweet.
But I was thinking...are the CF fenders as strong as the hoods are? Cuz you wouldnt have to worry about dings.

I think they would look like crap. Paint your sideskirts and lips.
