I really liked the Flat black 2012 insert but the fact you can't wax it is an extra step of covering it when you wax.
I see this totally different than most. Even if I wanted painted for the $600 option pirce I would buy the exposed insert to just flip it. you know how much you could sell that for. you can buy repo's to paint if you just want a specific color for way less. be like $750-850 painted
I think the exposed piece is $3200 and they are hard enought to get it would sell.

This all gets down to personal preference. There is no right answer. I bought my SIM with painted insert because I liked how it looked with the stripe package (exact match). The carbon fiber insert is a cool look but since it's the only carbon fiber element on the car it kind of seems showy and only there as a status object. Plus from 5 feet away you don't even notice it. IMO carbon fiber is not the big deal it once was and I didn't want to spend 600 bucks for it. It's great that it is an option for those that want it. I never though about making money off it, but that is a great idea. I could have sold mine and used all that money for mods... Damn, missed opportunity..
