That's an AutoExe wing and it's in full CF so no one in the right mind would actually paint it body colour 
Oh and it ain't an R3 either. That's a basic facelift model with AutoExe front bumper, R3 sideskirts.

...not sure whats wrong with painting carbon fiber, its done all the time. I also agree that the wing would look better painted, but its not my car.

altspace dont get me wrong, on the right cars carbon fiber looks AMAZING, but to say someone is not in there right mind to paint carbon fiber is pretty out there. just stating my opinion here and maybe its the cars that drive around here with carbon fiber on them and they scream RICE....
disclaimer: i am not sayin the 2009 rx8 pictured above is RICE nor any other rx8 on here, infact i agree that the rx8 above is extremely nice, and personally i like the look of the 04s better, but the one above is clean

Well it's just my opinion of course, but one's paying alot more for original carbon fibre stuff, and to paint over it doesn't make sense to me. If u want body colour, why not get fibre parts instead? They cheaper and at the same time not much heavier.
Unless you're talking about pure CF, but painting over those will be a nightmare. The weaves will show through the paint and it's ugly. Just my experience, may not hold true for all instances of course

the clear coat that was specially applied on top of your velocity red painted rx8 was applied wrong and is causing your rx8 not to start properly...i tried. ha ha
