Leave it black for a while until you get sick of it, and then paint it to match your car.

Don't jump on the decision to quickly, you might wipoo poo was black once you get it painted.

Looks good, don't paint it for a while, but I think that black hoods on JDM white tegs look hot!

Later,
Jon

I'd say leave it black. It looks like its shiny and everything and it's a real eye-catcher.

Wow! That is a really nice hood. I agree with HondaJon, leave it black for now and see if it grows on you. If it doesn't paint it. I'm sure it'll look nice either way.

sell that ugly *** aerogear hood and stop trying to play it off as a jun product. i work for jun japan and we do not make such a product. we asains only care about going fast just like the guy in the greddy commercial says, so we dont waste time putting stupid vents in our hoods

paint it, it looks like you cant afford to paint it if you dont. Do you like seeing all these peice of poo poo cars driving around all primered up? Well, then paint it or take it off.
Doesn't look to me like he can't afford to paint it.

IT NEEDS PAINT.
I've never liked those Cutlasses and Tauruses driving around with replaced body panels that don't match. That's what this whole CF / Fiberglass hood craze looks like. . . . no class.

Good Luck

ya know what? i voted for "its fine" but now that I think about it, I would paint. But thats cuz the whole carbon fiber on white look is getting played out, but if it looks fine to you, then leave it as is, until you get sick of that look like i have.

And yes I know its fiberglass, in case someone wants to call me a dumbass for thinking its carbon fiber.

Yes paint it, people will think it is a CF hood and think your trying to have a CF hood but its not... i would think you are just trying to act like you have one... it would look sweet when you paint it though! nice car

im not hating, but the only reason to leave carbon fiber unpainted is not because of its color....but to see the weave because that looks cool especially under light and sun the way it reflects off......just a black hood on a white integra looks like something needs to be painted, you should get blue fenders, one red door and a yellow bumper to complete the look if you decide not to get the hood painted.
