If it was me, I would be so excited when I got it I would just put it on right away. If you decide to paint then paint it, but keep in mind when it's painted thats it. So at least try it unpainted.

I'd say paint it fully, unless you can imagine a great design with paint and carbon fiber, then you might be on to something?

O your car runs 12s? Just leave it unpainted then. Paint=weight

haha yeah that would save me about 200 lbs.

come to think of it. if i do go with a carbon fiber hood i could always put it on and if it looks gay i could just go and get it painted, correct?
not if but when.

If you like how the rear end of your car looks, then you might like it unpainted.

Paint it or get a car stereo shop to put yellow window tint on it

No.....thats not a joke.....haven't you ever seen colored carbon fiber?

I've never seen that before, sounds interesting. I'm going to try and look up a picture of that.

It says yellow is currently unavilable, but maybe this is something to consider. Really cheap by comparison of painting.
