My favorite S2k of all time. Amuse R1. I have few of those in GT4.

If you do track your car, that's acceptable...

No need. Plywood is a composite material already. It's bling, baby.

I may have the unpopular opinion here, but leave carbon fiber UNPAINTED! It is too beautiful to cover it with paint! If you have to paint it, then use a translucent paint so you can still see the weave below the color.

I like the two-tone look. But I'm also of the younger generation than many on here.

You are so wrong, do some research on higher end cars that use carbon fiber panels, most of them are painted, there may be some trim that's not but for the most part, that CF is covered up, and for good reason.

The ONLY color I think it looks good on is yellow. Most of the time I think it looks very cheap. Painting it is an option. I would like to get a vented hood, but so many of the CF ones do not have the fit and finish of the OEM hood, so I just leave the OEM one on.

I don't think age has anything to do with it.
