depends on the quality of the carbon look wrap and the skill of the person applying it. I have seen bikes with this and it can be done to look good but it can look awful if not done well

I've seen this done and if done correctly it looks awesome, I saw it last on a Jap4 / Tyga RGV 250 and it looked great. (Just like a winter test GP bike in full carbon and all black)

Don't forget the RC212V sticker to go with the fake carbon...
