Agreed that the plain black shiny nose is bland-looking. As an alternative to a custom molded CF nose, last March, I got a local installer
wrap the nose in
3M Carbon Fiber Black vinyl. It looks great and has aged well. Cost me $100; I'm tempted to switch to the
Anthracite which is lighter; this time, I'll get the shiny strip under the logo wrapped as well. There are many other
probably-kitschy options too.
