Opinions,: Would carbon fiber accents look good on a Galaxy Gray

Just like the title says, I'm wanting to get some opinions. Do you think the Evo-R carbon fiber front would look good, as well as the rear window spoiler?

You've got to please yourself on this. Some people love the look of CF, other's don't. I work with the stuff but prefer a painted finish. If it pleases your eye, go for it.

There will never be something you can do to your car that 100% of us will love. As long as you like it, that's all that matters. It's your car.

that means you could put the sticker on, and we would ALL make fun of you, but as long as you like it, thats all that matters.

As far as the CF question goes, i happan to think little CF accents here and there would look good. but dont overdue it

...............No..........but that's just my opinion. It matters if you like it. I just don't care for it on our color.

Now what you up to?

I'm thinking of the lip spoiler or the Mazdaspeed spoiler. I know they are totally different....I just can't decide!

Concur. A very subjective 'eye of the beholder' item.

CF, being typically black, should look good as a contrast to Galaxy Grey.

related: many folks install CF hoods to reduce vehicle weight, but as our RX-8's have aluminum hoods, not much further savings.
