SCX10 Pro carbon rails... should I get them?

They are on sale for $34 right now. Is it a worthy upgrade or just for looks?

Do you like the look of the carbon enough to buy it anyways?
I'm not into crawlers but $34 for a carbon chassis is a steal for my buggies!
Might be worth the spend to build a "pretty" crawler?

I haven't upgraded my frame rails in any of my rigs so I can't necessarily tell you, but it does look cooler

Well, I don't know about SCX10's, but I do know the SCX24 stock frame rails can easily be bent if your front wheels get in a bind and the rear digs in, ultimately turning your truck into a taco (damn, we miss ya Pat ). I can't imagine why a larger scale couldn't do the same thing unless they really beefed up the stock rails. Carbon fiber rails would be much harder to destroy.
