Personally....I would just wrap it in fiberglass and paint it a flat black (or even just paint the aluminum....that thing is probably going to bottom out at every pothole, so redoing CF every time will probably get expensive. I like the flat black look too....a bit racier, less show. I think you have enough CF as is....too much CF is overkill (IMO) and overtakes the overall car.

I would agree on to much CF and it reduces the look. The only thing that is currently on the car exterior that have CF showing is the Mugen spoiler on the side stakes. I am going to paint the Mugen CF hood leaving only the CF in the vents exposed.

Inside the only thing CF right now is the Sub box.
I am considering painting the trim ring Rio instead of covering it with CF.

Surprisingly the lip has not bottomed out on the previous S2000 with 2 inch drop and the current one with 1.5inch drop.

If I had the $, I would get a Seibon CF Hardtop, a CF rear trunk, then a CF hood. That is all I would do in CF on the outside. It is kind of a lot of CF, but it would all mesh, and create sort of a 2-tone paint look (black with yellow). I would keep everything below that line created by the CF painted. I would provide a nice clean look. Nothing too jumbled.

I have just seen TOO many cars that have overdone the CF thing. It ends up looking pieced together in the end. You really want the car to FLOW. It should look like it is moving, when standing still. I would also look into a staggered drop. Maybe 1.75 up front, and 1.5 in the rear. That would give the car a VERY aggressive, squatted, look.

I am looking to do all this stuff to my S.....in time. Just a poor college kid now.
