Looks good now. Youre only saving ~15 pounds with a cf hood. The dark hood would ruin the whole clean solid color theme of the car in my opinion.

If you'd messed up your hood and needed a new one I'd say yeah, might as well. But if your hood is fine (and it looks like it is) then I say don't bother.

Screw it.
Do it, if it looks like crap, paint it. Painted CF= true enthusiast. (&lt;I spelled that wrong. I mean WaRong.)
