Carbon Fiber......Yes or No
Just a thought when parts come available can you picture a totally carbon fibered Nismo Z? I think it would be a great look, no graphics or strips just the OEM parts just carbon fiber. I'm seriously considering this my first move.

This is going to be VERY VERY VERY expensive for a pretty minimal gain in performance. But it will look sick nasty.

Unpainted carbon fibre is the equivilant of a fat girl wearing an open slutty top to show off her only half decent quality

Carbon is still in, unfortunately people put it on beaten up cars (civic ricers mostly). When the rest of the car looks like crap, those feelings overflow into the carbon fiber on there too. Carbon is meant to look "out of place" but the weave to it gives it style and class.

Carbon fibre is only cool when its used under the expression "function" not "form"
