I would only get it if I wanted the weight savings compared to a metal hood. Then I'd paint it. I think cf looks dumb unpainted, reminds me of all the rice that runs around with fart cans.

Nice and Rice. It's a fine line that you're treading. I think it could go either way. You could paint it if needed. You have to ask yourself why you're getting the hood? Weight savings or appearance or both? If it is just appearance be absolutely sure that you want that look, otherwise you're paying a lot for something that will look like the OEM if you end up painting it, it'll just be lighter. It's your call man. $700 is a pretty hefty chunk of change.

If it's for weight savings, save your dough and put it in the motor. If it's for looks, do what you want.

They have been threads about that before...

At that price, it's not true Carbon Fiber.
And that means the weight saving is now just a remote theory.

Having said that, it would look good on some cars.
The ricer comment must have been a fart because it ain't worth much.
For those who go to the race track, especially road course, you see Vettes, Vipers and other American cars having CF parts in order to reduce weight.
The GT500 SS has a chin and other parts in CF on it, also.
I guess it's a rice Mustang lol...

i dont mind the CF look so much, but it looks kind of plain in the design. i would get it in 3 or 4 inch cowl induction for that fat, pumped up look.
