This is not the case at all. Finishing in first, staying in first for a long time, and your overall time are the 3 biggest factors that are considered. Of course, these usually correspond to high point standings like 40 points... Even then, I have gotten 1st in all 4 races for 40 points and only gotten 2 stars before. It was because I wasn't in first place for long enough, or some other thing I'm not aware of.

How to unlock gold parts, in case this was not posted yet:
Golden Glider: 10,000 coins OR 100 street pass hits
Golden Wheels: 15,000 coins OR 1 star rank in all cups
Golden Kart: 20,000 coins OR 10,000VR rank online
Golden Steering Wheel: 100 races using gyro-controls for 80% of the time (lost once 20 races are played without gyro controls)
I have to say, I was a bit disappointed when I found out the stats are almost identical to standard kart, slick tires, and super glider. However, it is more for bragging rights than anything; at least they look cool. ^_^
