the carbon fiber on the body isnt the problem. its the fact that its left unpainted as if to show off "looky at my expensive CF parts"

The carbon fiber that is made for a chassis is baked in a large oven under pressure of around 90psi or so at about 125C for almost 3 hours. The carbon fiber that we buy for are cars are laid out in the same manner that fiberglass is laid out therefore it is not as strong as a carbon fiber chassis, and would break just as easy as fiberglass

I mean, the new Lambo is almost all CF, you don't see it running around naked.

It amazes me to see how much money people spend to make their FD look like ****.
True that man. Love the naked relationship there lol. But honestly, It would only look good on a dark painted car. Not necessarily a black FD. But it all depends I guess.
