This is exactly what I wanted to do... the guy on here that sells them said you can't paint carbon fiber. And like an idiot not knowing I listened. Look at that hood. Beautiful. Now that I know I will have it painted when I can get the money again. I really love this look.

Wow, that looks very nice! Prob is, I don't want a full CF hood and would rather keep the stock hood. It needs useful vents!

I don't know how useful the vents are. I would assume that witout a way to increase the air leaving the engine bay, it's mostly for looks. :confused:

You sir have the refined hood palette of royalty.
I figured as much about the ducts, at a stop heat does disperse from the bay much more quickly.

The shop flat charged the rate to paint the front red/ clear, and the back flat black. All the work to fit the hood and swap all the parts. 450.
