Why do you hate it? Yes its a pain in the arse to do do but it looks so much better than decals (plain weave I'm talking about here).

Compare

Now tell me which one looks better?
Now there is nothing technically wrong with the second one. In fact its perfect (well this guy is one of the best), but the pattern on the decal is so fake looking that it just doesn't look right. Theres no metallic shine that the painted carbon has.
