Carbon X-Squared Picture?

[CarGuy]

There's definitely a noticeable difference, but I think I could live with the carbon if I can't get my hands on the polished carbon.

Agreed the difference is minute but polished is just a smidge classier. At the end of the day they're both X Metals though!

Agreed. I was originally going to buy a pair of Juliets but I hate how they look on me, that style of frame isn't my kind of thing. Hopefully when I get out to the O store on Friday they'll still have the polished carbon XS and I can see them in person before buying anything. I think they'd look great with the black leather jacket I've got coming. I mean I can live with the regular carbon if I have to settle for those, but the polished looks nicer.

My carbon/ruby:

Prefer the matte black finish, look less plastic than polished one

I saw the polished carbon frames up close today, and while they have a classy look to them, I didn't really think they justified the price difference compared to what I can get the carbon ones for on the bay. I also thought they were too much like gunmetal for my tastes. They do look black in pictures, and from some angles in person but I think I'm just gonna get a pair of carbon/black iridium and be done with it. I love the frames and I need something close to black that looks nice.

Thanks for the help guys.

The only reason the Polished Carbon is usually more expensive is the fact they come paired with black polarized and not standard lenses.
