Everyone else had already explained the bling factor of it and he was just giving you a little crap. You might be taking taking this whole internet thing a little personally.
This has already been talked about here.

HOW DARE YOU!!! The Carbon Fiber is there to make the overall weight of the car less so that you can go faster and get more acceleration. DUH :pat:

wow. WAAAYYY too much thought into such a small thing!
let me keep this simple.
Save your money unless you like the way it looks. If thats the case, then to each his own, but don't expect any more "performance" improvement than you would get from a TRD Oil cap.

A radiator cap will not affect the operating temperature of the engine, it only establishes the temperature at which the coolant "boils over". The higher the pressure, the higher the temperature that the coolant boils at:
