The only reason it looks good is the clear coat they put on it. I dont know of any places for pics but if done right it will look exactly like another body piece that has been painted. If im not mistaken F-1 bodies are completely carbon fiber as well as Adam Saruwatari's NSX. You can get all kinds of pics of those painted. Go with it if you like it.

painted cf looks like any other painted hood
its just painted
cf and fiberglass are different
fiberglass is light but prone to cracking unless you get that urethane-fiberglass hybrid thingy thats hella $$$$
a lot of cf hoods are made with fiberglass shells
cf is made in layers usually and to save in money they a lot of times add in a fiberglass layer
a full cf hood structurally stronger then fiberglass and depending probably lighter
