Just get it then paint it. If you do it that way you can even get the cheaper oxidized/yellow hoods that people dump. Then use the savings to paint it.

Thats why you paint them. So its not rice. Thats when your using them for their benifits and not the ricy looks unpainted/unfinished

Not really. Due to all the CF hoods/trunks out their, that makes alot on the used market. Ive seen CF hoods that have clear coat all messed up for under 100. So if you get a hood thats all screwed-up for cheap you can sand prime and paint. All for cheaper than the fiberglass. And carbons lighter

True, but do you want I cheap one, I got a crappy Nopi CF hood, that has the problem you speak of, But Im not going to paint or it and leave my hatch unpaint, that would look gay! I love the CF look, and yeah I did get them to lighten the load, but I still want to show them off!

BTW Speedin what car do you own now or you still got the DSM?

i just wouldnt spend the $ to buy a cf hood then pay more to paint it, rather spend it on another mod

Oh yea, you cant paint 1 piece and leave the other. All or nothing FTW! I agree their. But save for it man :thumbs up.
