As far as the bimmers go, I would say no, how many hondas do you see with a carbon fiber roof? Hood and trunk are a different story. Carbon fiber is great, if your going for weight reduction, maybe a painted carbon fiber trunk or hood on the G for weight reduction. To the OP, didn't want your thread to turn into this, sorry about that, but think it over a little bit, I have a DG coupe as well, and carbon fiber on my integra so I am not saying CF is bad.

No, actually I get offended because I drive a Honda with carbon fiber on it....which would WALK your G35.

is it considered rice if someone gets CF parts and paints them to match and actually utilizes the lightweight benefits of CF on a G/Z?

There isn't a significant difference in weight. Sure, there is some. But not enough to make a noticeable difference, IMO. You'd be better off going on a diet.

Hehe.. damn, I didn't think CF trunks and hoods would be nearly as heavy as OEM.
