Haha, yeah, i do agree it can look cool, but it has to be tastefully done. A few accents here and there, for example, your boot spoiler look great, it has a contrast with the white paint. But ultimately you have to admit carbon fibre is there as a weight saving tool? Its there for ultimate performance in cars?

I agree, that is really styling and done with a touch of class :dropjaw:
I shudder to say this, as I love chrome, but perhaps a black powdercoat on those rims would do well, and I agree with the roof lining needs some attention.... but otherwise :clap::clap::clap:

Unless I'm mistaken, all you need is self-etching primer, and then a sprayshop can spray it like it were any other panel.

Welcome to the forums,
Ride looks nice, but not my cup of tea, I would of colour coded everything, made the boot and bonnet silver, maybe left the air vents in the bonnet CF.
Also I would spray the black rubber stripes down the side of the car silver as well.
You also need to Badge that boot, doesnt look great with the whole for the badge there, and if you dont badge it, fill it up before you paint it

You. Can. Paint. Carbon. Fibre.
The only reason you see a lot of unpainted carbon fibre is because people are showing off. I think 2 standard coats of primer and 3 coats colour does the trick better, but the carbon weave might show through the paint depending on how well it's done.

I would also paint the carbon fiber. Leaving it exposed is nice for smaller items, but trunk and hood (as the americans say) looks beter painted.
Then I would lose the rear bumper.... and good eye from Gizmo for spotting that it's the wrong hood.
But it's the OP's car, so whatever he likes is all that matters.
And painting carbon isn't a big deal if your bodyshop knows what they're doing.
