What About a Carbon Fiber Balt?

First off this is not a thread to show off my photo shop work. I did this chop in 15 minutes. This is just for a reference idea.

Do you think a all carbon fiber cobalt would look tight?

the only way i would say make a carbon fiber balt would be if it was strictly built as a time attack car.. then who gives 2 ***** what it looks like... at that point its all about being the quickest around the track and not how good it looks doin it

I say no, carbon fiber is a good accent but on the whole car I think it looks terrible.

That's a quick way to ruin a nice looking car. Needs painted.

i waste of time and money but it would be an intresting end product.
i think doing that to a corvette would be a smarter choice...

if put the money into making an entire car in c/f then it would all be waisted as soon as you painted it. . .


paint = weight.

Paint is not that much weight. I think it might be a good idea for a track/drag cobalt but not a every day kind of car, plus major bucks if you ever damaged a pannel. I agree with people who are saying it should be painted with some accents showing but other than that a whole cf body just looks dirty from a distance, plus maintance to keep it shiny would be hell.
