are u getting this for performance (weight reduction) or for looks? if performance then i would say if u get the paint job done right then its all good. but idk about just for looks cus then obviously it kills the point if u paint it where u can't even see the weave to know that its cf and just leaving it all unpainted... thats too much cf.

i think it might look good if you paint it and have it fade from pure cf to your car color. I've always found a full cf front end looks a little weird since it doesnt match the rest of the car
example... from this:

^^ thanks man...
if you really wanna be show-y you could paint all the CF the color of the car and paint wolverine (x-men) type scratches in it showing off the CF beneath. like an open wound....your car color being the skin and CF being the flesh underneath.

if your gonna stick with silver. and i believe your goin with a kenstyle cf front i would leave the bottom part of the bumper cf so it looks like a cf lip. ( believe i saw yellow lancer and red one are like that on here). and if your getting cf fenders since your goin for more of a show look i would put a carbontrix sticker somewhere on the fender and paint over the sticker, and when the paint job is done peel the sticker off .
