Unpainted it looks horrid without the right other parts to set it off. Please paint it and lose the yellow washer nozzles.

Can't stand unpainted CF. Especially since it's a mere few lbs lighter than the stock aluminum hood. Seems rather expensive for such a marginal loss of weight. To each their own...

does wet cf one even save weight?

The problem with this mod is that, you are spending a couple hundreds of dollars simply for the look, and it does not succeed in looking good. If you paint it, you are spend more $ and the end result just looks like OEM hood. I never understood why people buy "OEM style" CF hood.

I agree.. I like CF hoods, but never understood getting a OEM one. with some mods on the car it will help.

If your'e gonna leave it CF, which IMO is fine.. you should get it sprayed over with another clear coat. Otherwise it will fade and look like crap.
