If that's what floats your boat, then do it.

Just don't be surprised if you post pics of your ride, and people start flaming you for it. From what I've seen around here, the general consensus is that unpainted CF parts (especially a whole front end) automatically put you in a "ricer" status. Personally, I've always thought of unpainted CF front ends as kind of tacky and unfinished.

the point is to save weight, not for your car to look like a project in progress, but hey if you like the look, go nuts.
