If cf is not really lightweight, it looks pretty cool on the car. But if that guy has cf fender, he should make his whole car cf, doesnt look right with just the cf hood+fender.
its like all or nothing

cf hoods look good on some cars, but really, id draw the line there. having a whole car carbon fibre would look pretty fawking ugly, unless you have no taste at all :ugh:

Depends on where it is used. Hood, yes, because there's a lot of structural reinforcement that can be eliminated if you use a stiffer material.

Fenders are just a waste of money.
