Taping bars all the way to stem - Yes or No ?

Hi All
Just had my self a new set of Wing style carbon bars. They look nice on the stem with the flat wing parts showing with graphics.
I have seen some people not wrap this part in tape. Is this just for show or personal thing ?
What do you do and do you have any pics ??
Cheers

Looking good, think i will do the same for the 'looks'. Always wear gloves anyway.
Anyone else got pics ?

Those sort of bars aren't designed to be taped all the way to the stem - or even the normal couple of inches either side.
They're shaped for handholds as it is so tape would make them pretty bulky. Most people stop at the hoods.I'm left handed, if that matters.0
