i'll proably be getting a CF hood soon and can't decide if i want to paint it or not. i'm unsure on how it will look on an alpine white M3. i know it will look better with a CF lip spoiler but as of yet i don't have one. anybody have pics?

seriuosly, paint it. if the hood has an indention for the emblem, you could leave like an extra 1/4" around it bare. other people will still see what you have...but the real reason to get a carbon hood is the shedding of weight from the front of the car where it's pretty hard to loose it.

i had an unpainted cf hood on my alpine M3...for about 3 months.

looked like $hit and I got rid of it. never looked back.

yeah...i'm not painting my car until dec so i'll have the cf hood for about a month before i can paint it. i'm sure by the time we paint i will want to have the whole car white. i don't really care about everyone seeing that i have a cf hood but thought that if i could save some time by not painting it and it look good than i wouldn't.
