Message	CF is a synthetic material created for a purpose. Gold and platinum were ORIGINALLY used PURELY as DECORATION because of their HEFTY price due to their RARITY and LUSTER compared to say, lead. Their value due to heat retention signal transfer etc was found AFTERWARDS (i don't think Xerxes was rocking Shure SE530s). Having the LOOK of carbon fiber when it is really carbon fiber is what I'm against personally. CF items that are actually CF, I'm 50/50 on, because the weight savings is negligable and won't help you that much, and the part most probably was meant to be shown off (i.e. CF driveshafts for us are utterly useless, but weigh a lil less and in some rare situation may be safer than an aluminum if it breaks off, but I digress). High end cars use CF for purposes we don't (zonda uses CF for entire PANELING). This should have been emailed, but I hope Nixit ranting discouraging retarded usage of CF stickers, cloth, any of that fake shit...if it does that, his rants actually did some good.
