Too much carbon?

Get into R/C pylon racing!

While I think somewhat along similar lines, I don't mind c/f in protective roles:

Those case covers would wear right through. Carbon doesn't offer skid protection, it's structural.

CF frame covers? IMHO, yes - it's too much, but it's YOUR bike and mods, so enjoy it...

If it isn't adding performance, saving weight, or doing some function other that just looking pretty, it's useless IMO. That's just my opinion... It's your bike, do what you want.
