NOT!!!

I'm a believer in function over form... So I can understand in an exotic that there may be CF interior pieces, but that's the save weight.

I just don't understand covering pieces in an S2000 with CF for looks and effectively adding weight to the car. Sorry, just my opinion.

i think if you do the dash and hash only it would be nice. kinda oppsite of how ricers paint the vents and trim peices.... but you do the dash and leave everything else alone. i'm picturing it in my mind and think it might come out ok.

the pic of your friend's ride has it alll on the dash, steering colum, center counsel and glove compartment door.

Not.

I'm a purist -- carbon fiber is an appropriate look only if the part in question is actually made of carbon fiber. And that's only appropriate if carbon fiber is the best material for the job, considering weight and strength requirements.

But if you like the look, do it anyway; still, I'd be mindful of the cautions posted above regarding reflections from the dash.
