Carbon Fiber
Does anyone really like the 2 tone look you could say. Doing a carbon fiber hood and trunk. Maybe throw in the carbon fiber mirrors while you're at it? I mean we all know this is a cosmetic addition but I think the Suzuka Blue with some carbon fiber in the front and back might look nice. What you guys think?

I'm sure Ben will pop up here any time now. He's famous for hating this.
I think you ought to do whatever you like. It's your car.

Since you are soliciting opinions... i think it makes the car look like cheap crap, especially when people mix different weaves, but if you like it, then by all means go for it. btw, I also think suzuka blue looks ghey... so this combination would be utterly disgusting. IMHO of course

How do you really feel? 
To make matters worse - most of the cf body parts fit like sh!t.

I just disappointed that the guys using wood seldom sand the exposed surfaces. They are leaving aero efficiency on the table!
Unpainted carbon fiber hoods are rather unsightly. Kind of like your car was crashed and you picked up a used hood at the junkyard. If you can't afford to have it painted, why did you buy it in the first place. Most "carbon fiber" hoods for the S2000 weigh more than the stock aluminum hood and don't fit properly, so this is pure bling silliness.

I mention the plywood because I'm seriously thinking about making a plywood splitter for my car. It would be cheap to make and to replace if I have an unfortunate off.
But at least I would paint it. Krylon, here I come.
