I say paint it and keep the body the same color on a black car.

:iagree:

At most I would only paint a portion of it if you are dead set on painting it

Painting a CF hood to me kinda defeats the purpose of buying a CF hood especially on 'this car" since the stock hood is already so light from being aluminum

I had my CF hood painted with the vents left carbon. The last vents (closest to the windshield) I had them fade in so there is no line separation of color/material.

Not the best lighting but you can kind of see.

Agreed that does look good with the vents. The centerlines look interesting how you left them CF as well... Almost like the fangs of a snake. :tup:
