Carbon Fibre for function, acceptable. The bonus is that it looks good.

 

Carbon Fibre for aesthetic pleasure, waste of time and looks sh*t. Only my opinion of course.

 

I concur.

 

Unfortunately car owners seem to be split into 2 halves, those that want their cars for function, and those that just want them for looks.

I quite like carbon for the lightness and it looks OK.  I'm not sure about dipping and carbon vinyling though.  Looks OK but it not for me.

 Really cool but not for me, I just don't like the whole fake/wrapped/dipped carbon effect thing, real carbon is cool, imitation just isn't no matter how good it looks (and these do look good)

Not for all I agree.

 

Did a test on one, decided it worked really well so decided to finish the rest and sell as I no longer have my VX

The thing is... they don't make you car perform any better. QED.

 

As I said, there are those that want their car to go faster, and those that want it to look like it goes faster... there is a significant/critical difference between the 2.

I'm not sure I get your point, this is clearly a thread re styling, nobody is making performance claims?
