Looks awesome. Do not paint it. I learned the hard way that paint does not adhere to CF very well.

yes i would never paint carbon fiber cause damn... thats what your paying for really the look. 99% of all after market hoods are just fiber glass with c/f over lay.... but on the subject of being able to paint it that is not a problem for anyone who knows what they are doing ...just wet sand the clear coat off with 400 grit sand paper.... but if your going to do that return the damn thing and get a fibr4eglass one thats cheaper...
