Your response is encouraging and most informative. Some form of pattern either embossed or painted is what I had in mind. I mean, with some effort, one could have a beautiful SAAB "screaming chicken" logo inside the CF hood. Know what I mean Jak? Years ago I and a pair of mates manufactured 8 foot square fiberglass satellite dish antennas. We experimented with different metalic cores as the signal reflective surface. The standard at the time was either woven glass matting with fine metal strands throughout, then layered between the gel coat and fiberglass backing, or a fine metal threaded "rope" which is cut and combined with catalysed resin using a chopper/spray gun, then spit onto the gel coated surface back. We even tried strips of fly screen. They all worked, but low cost and ease of manufacture was what we had in mind. The woven rope was easiest but more expensive because you had to use a fairly thick layer to acquire the necessary signal strength. The metal thread woven mat provided a stronger signal, but required more time to work with. Fly screen had the most reflective surface, but was difficult to work with.
All that had nothing to do with the original CF thread, but just to share some related experience.
