Mp4 Carbon Hood !

CF hoods look ugly on everything. Indeed the definition of ricey.
I think it depends on the build quality - Aston will make a Vanquish at 3x the price in all CF.

Funny thing is when they get finished with coatings it weighs more than stock.

Pagani does it right - be interesting to see Mclarens close up.

CF is technical art.

Anyone can lay paint - takes millions to weave carbon fiber let alone matching lines coatings strength etc.

Painting cf is a waste - the day Victoria Secret models start wearing sweat pants and hoodies is the day I will paint my cf :cool:
 
I'd say this is one of those issues that is very subjective and a matter of preference. I'm generally in the "don't like the look of CF" camp but can appreciate those that like it. I have seen it done well and can appreciate it even though it's not my cup of tea.

That said, the stark contrast of the hood without much more to the theme is akin to having the car just having a randomly different color, and, not my cup of tea.

But that's what's great, it is someone else's fancy, and if it makes them happy, good for them.
I agree with others - you can't just toss cf where it doesn't belong.

When I purchase a car now it's based on the cf color matching :)
