why do they look bad?

What looks good about it? It's like a mis-matching body panel. It's about as attractive as if you had taken one of the doors and made it CF. There's nothing sexy about the way the contrasting color meets with the fender or taillight or rear bumper. Forget for a second that it's carbon fiber (ooh OMG CF! FTW!) and take a hard look at it.

lol... you changed the image

it doesn't look quite as bad in that picture
(and the reason is because it blends in... almost as if it weren't CF and were painted to match)

 

[joka1]

lol, i was trying to find a decent pic of my trunk. my whole car is blacked out so i think it blends well!!

 

[nate0123]

exactly... blends in... on black it does a little more than on any other color

the shape of the trunk is not something you want to accentuate by making it a starkly contrasting color, as in exhibit A:

looks sweet (ugh)

who ever said that carbon fiber isn't paintable? that trunk has some nice lines, use it. take some ideas off the mitsubishi evo 4-6. essentially the protege's body is the same. Also did the early 90's grand am come in red/turquise? there are 2 of them in town with mismatched body panels in the same places.
