Can you paint a CF hood?
Im in the market for a new hood. Im looking at a CF hood but i don't know if i like the way it looks with my white 8. Wondering if it is possible to paint a CF hood? if so does anyone have pics of how this might look?

I believe it would be done mainly for looks. I for one, HATE the look of CF and have long wanted a Varis vented hood. when I get it, I will be painting it black to match the car.
so to answer the OP: yes, it's possible.

if you are gonna paint it go with FRP hood, they are cheaper than carbon fiber. Heres a site that lists a similar hood to the one pictured above.

****on a side note that CF MS kit looks nice!

Ive always been a fan of the PARTIAL painted CF hood look. Paint certain parts of the hood and leave some CF, that's been on my desired mod list for a couple years now, I should get on that .

there's screens in those vents to keep out most of the debris.
Also, the hoods have a 'rain tract' on the inside that diverts the water should it be raining.
