Get the carbon fiber and paint it! I agree that it has a gel coat but the fiberglass you have to be careful with and I have not heard any problems with the carbon fiber hoods....very strong and light weight and less issues than the fiberglass IMO J

Looks like I was wrong and I think you're right. I found some other pics on ebay and it does look like mellowyellow06's car. I like that hood much better than the carbon fiber one i was looking at, just so hard to wait until April!
