Carbon Fiber:

+ looks great when brand new, clean and with no scratches/swirls
- feels very cheap to touch since you're actually touching the plastic transparent layer, not carbon fibers
- shows all the dust = looks bad
- can't touch it when it has dust particles on it and can't touch it with anything else than clean fingers, otherwise you'll scratch and swirl the coating layer instantly
- it looks terrible when scratched

Aluminium
+ matte, real natural material finish, instead of a plastic layer
+ pleasing to touch a natural material
+ doesn't show dust particles
- gets very very hot in sunlight
- if you scratch it with e.g. keys or phone, it's going to show as a deep wide scratch, worse than on the plasticky carbon fiber
