LOL the ricers are all like "Why paint CF? What's the purpose"
Talk about looks over function....the point of a CF hood is rigidy and lighter weight (and in this case too, vented). Not just cause its CF and looks "HiZot" :P
yes, that's mazdamike from the cooler forums, his car is very tasteful and I hope to match it someday.
He said he'll leave it CF for a while then paint it in the future. Nice car, cool kid, awesome Rx7.

It's been talked numerous times that a Fiberglass hood barely weighs anything more that a Carbon Hood and isn't a legit reason for getting one over the other. You may save 5 lbs.. Ohhh such savings.
Some people such as myself don't enjoy paying to have their hood painted every year due to rock chips. For that reason alone, I will never paint my CF hood.

I don't think it's a ricer question or the risk of rock chips. Just a question of preference. If your young(er) you probably prefer the look of CF. If your a fossil (like me) you might prefer the painted look.
From what I've seen though, if you intend to paint a hood, go with the gel-coated FG. It's much easier to prep and block. I'm thinking the CF hoods tend to require alot more prep work to keep the cross-hatch pattern from coming through and being visable after paint. At least in the ones I've seen painted.
I like that hood though. If I was going to get a vented hood, I do like those.

The only reason that I could see not to paint a carbon fiber hood is the fact that the paint would put it back to the wieght of a stock hood. Otherwise function over looks for me.

not painting CF is "rice"... I have plenty of friends with CF parts and i think it ruins the car.
you'll never see me buying CF parts... F that...
I especailly dislike the scoot CF hood...

Yea I had no clue. I was talking out of my ****. I just know that leaving it CF is part of the "Rice" Craze, so even if I liked that look, it'd be hard to do that and not feel like I'd be a part of that same crowd.
Your right, the stock FD hood is already light
If I go aftermarket, It's only for the vents for temps plus the nice looks of a nice vent.Matched colors of course
I'm a "Young fossil", I love "original" stuff.
