Scott, honestly...I've tossed the idea of carbon fiber back and forth in my head for a few years. I don't want to waste money on something that won't fit and then lose 35-50% of my initial cost trying to sell it second hand. Also, when left exposed...carbon fiber gets sort of old and the sunlight beats on it after a few years, it starts to turn that yellowish/orangey/goldish color. Do you know what I'm talking about? Can anyone explain the discoloration and why it does that? But, for $2000 and up, I don't want to take that chance. If painted I get that it won't do it, but if I paint it and leave the stripes carbon...it'll discolor.
