I LOVE carbon fiber. I see it as not only highly engineered and technical, but a beautiful accent if done correctly.
Recently I found factory engine surround components, from a 2013 so all the plaques match my car.

Looks very nice indeed.

Carbon fibre looks good when there's not too much. Forged carbon looks like dirt so I think it's best if there's very little of it.

I agree on both things....there can be too much CF. And I dislike forged carbon in general. Forged carbon makes sense when it is used ot make very non-flat things, like shift paddles, but there is literally no point to it when making things like hoods or spoilers. I don't like the way it looks.

Here is another part that is totally dumb. Part on right is the aluminum version that comes on all Gallardos other than SL's. The left is the SL carbon version. Minimal weight savings AND you can't see it, but I found on Ebay for 'cheap' so.....

If it's cheap, yes I'd go for it! It'll give you satisfaction to look at it when you put the car up to do an oil change. (y)
