Question KS-Auto CF Burnout Body Kit

I just received a sponsorship offer from a Japanese exporter for the Burnout body kit. The question is, what do you guys think about leaving it unpainted on a winning blue 8. Basically the bottom of my car would be Carbon Fiber, as well as the eyelids. I will also purchase a CF hood.

I think when all is said and done it would look good but I value your opinions.

It comes in FRP (or FPR or something like that) also. Yeah, I'm tired of the carbon fiber look. It's like everyone wants carbon everything. CF hood, CF trunk, CF spoil, CF drawls, CF toothbrush. If it were dry carbon, for weight saving, yes, but to just have the CF look ... man people are playing that out more than Kelly Clarkson on the radio.

i think it would look good CF, but the CF hood would be a bit much ... so paint the hood. leave the kit CF and get some sick wheels. the end.

carbon fiber is dumb. you replace pieces on a car to make the car lighter, not ADD additional pieces made of carbon fiber...it looks retarded and has no purpose.

i vote NO in a big way.

I like this kit in the carbon fiber but mugatu is right about the fact that is is useless other than looks but i do like this kit in carbon. The carbon im sick of is the carbon fiber on the interior and carbon fiber hoods

It looks like stock but has decreased oil cooler exposure for less cooling. I wouldn't touch it.

I do believe cooling is exactly the same being that the lip doesnt cover over any part of the stock holes

in pics it looks like stock but in person its not even close.....its very similar to either the veilside or rmagic lip....it is about an inch lower than the oem black part and sticks out further...it does not cover anything....it is a lip that goes under everything
