barf. ultimate barf. I've just come to the conclusion that I hate eveything in carbon fiber except for a trunk or a hood. Everything else is just

That is my opinion.

having carbon fiber anything is just for looks, unless you actually care about the weight reduction...

what a shame... i got 2 questions for them... 1. do you think your cool? 2. are you stupid?

in a way its kinda dangerous and putting other people on the road in harms way.. their arms are stretched to the max cant even turn the wheel.. i see their seats are reclined FULLY down.. i dont know how they do it..
occasional leaned back (layed back/relax) driving is acceptable.. but doing it all the time.. that isnt cool... unless you drive a SL55 or something exotic.. haha

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THAT IS AWESOME.

I want rims that are made to look like alabaster or granite. Maybe a nice olive marble. Sweet. I say go for Balsa Wood rims for weight reduction.
