Do you have any other CF on the exterior? if no, then for sure cheesy.

I wouldn’t mind if the car was black

Respectfully, this thread is probably not going to get you anywhere. It is your car...do what you want to it. Who cares what others think if you like it. You're going to get 1/2 of the people telling you they like it, who would tell you to cover the whole car in CF and the other half who think too much carbon fiber is too rice, or that it looks splotchy if its in pieces scattered all over the body, that carbon fiber is poser shit if you aren't racing your car and benefiting from the weight reduction properties blah blah blah etc... So at the end you'll still be 50/50. Will asking here sway your decision? Maybe, but If so, I think that's kinda silly because you are the one that is going to have to live with it and look at it every day. If the majority of people in this thread say they hate it and it looks tacky but you want to put it on and do, and you end up liking it, who cares what everyone on here says. This is what makes the car community interesting in my opinion. Everyone has different taste so I always default to do what you want to do and F everyone else lol. Just my opinion. Anyways! Good luck with your build! Sounds like you've put a lot of work into it already!

If you have that much exposed carbon, what's a fuel door going to do? Push it over the edge?

On a similar note, if you enjoy all the CF bits you have so far, I’m sure you will like the gas flap

No thanks for me. I even have a black car. If the car is considerably modified I am sure they can look okay..

My car has factory CF mirror caps and a small CF trunk lip I added along with glossy black Maxton splitter. Everything else is stock on the outside and very pleased with the look.

You can see mine in my profile pic. I like it ...on phantom. It's a nice subtle look due to it all being matte. It also matches the CF door handles, louvers, stripes and mirror caps.

Your car ....do with it what you want.

Nope, looks tacky and out of place. The OEM piece is plastic- you are not saving any weight by replacing it.

Carbon fiber is the 2020 equivalent to the 1970s avocado green.

Carbon fiber is the 2020 equivalent to the 1970s avocado green.

Ehh, I’d say it’s equivalent to old man chrome. Regardless, I agree with the idea.

Ah no.... the fuel door is massive in size.

Why bring more attention to its bulbous appearance?!?

It will look like you broke yours and had to pull one off a black car at the wrecking yard.
