CF = Ricer???

My first expensive bicycle was carbon monocoque and now even the most coveted Italian bikes are Carbon Fiber. From Bianchis and Colnagos Carbon Fiber bits have migrated into the interiors of the sacred Ferraris. The stuff is everywhere, I even see Carbon Fiber Tag Heur wrist watches. Ferrari makes Carbon Fiber fountain pens! I see Ferraris

I think you are looking at from our homegrown perspective where anything not stock equals "ricer" and you've been influenced from seeing so much cheap and fake Carbon Fiber-look that is glued over existing interiors bits.

japanese imported cars with extensive modifications and 'tastefuly done' are not mutually exclusive. RUF heavily modify their interiors with the same painted and Carbon Fiber methods that you might find in the interior/exterior of
a "riced out" S2000. Does that make RUF = Ricer? Or are they forgiven because they are German products instead of Japanese? Hmmm...
