I was going to buy the same hood and paint everything but the vents in brilliant silver. I hate entire body panels that are exposed CF, it looks unpainted like you got in an accident and never painted the panels. It probably wouldnt be a good idea tho in vegas considering we have torrential downpours in the summer time.

Exactly man. An agressive oem look lime the new vipers is what im looking foward too.:iagree:

I like that,that looks pretty sharp!that gap between the hood and bumper though... Is that common with these hoods?

Yeah, but you can fiddle with the hood/bumper a little to try to close the gap more.
Also my bumper is old (bought my car in May 09 and have 87k DD miles), so it has taken some beatings over the years and has some little gaps. Even with my OEM hood one side was a little off.
