Off topic...
I say paint it, you've already got a custom color...
Off topic, would you know the exact difference in weight between the stock hood and this one?

FTW!!!!!



i like it when other people think like me.. or me like them..... er whatever...

paint it.. to most people it screams "Hey look at me.. thats right thats right... i'm real carbon fiber!!!!" paint the thing but leave enough CF unpainted that people can still tell its CF with out the whole world having to see it....


(my suggestion, paint everything but the rear 6 gills... will look super clean... yet people if they pay attention will know its cf... if that the effect you are after)
