Full real carbon is usually a down grade in so many instances, the best cars and planes out there are usually (CFRP'S) Carbon fiber reinforced plastics or (GFRP's) Glass fiber reinforced polymers. Such elements give the final product many desirable traits that just plain carbon fabrics cannot achieve.

Full on solid carbon parts do have their place, something such a window tray or many other Porsche parts is just not it.

I won't dispute, but I usually think of CF in terms of weight savings and strength. Cosmetics are secondary. Just me.

Boltpower21 is infamous around these parts
Expensive, but it would be an awesome look.
