I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island
if u go cf hatch and cf oem style hood, and are toying with repainting the whole car...spray or do a cf overlay on the roof, between the 2 water drain grooves in the roof. so u have a CF/dark strip up the center, a few people have done it (2 maybe 3) and imo it looks good with the right color (silver or exotic bright color) on the rest of the car.

edit: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=58565&hl= if u scroll down through the read, severx13 links a few photos of a 6gc, from the game juiced, with the concept of what im describing. Doggy painted or worked on some car that had the center section of the roof painted black.. an audi i think. cant find it with a search tho.
