I left my carbon fiber hood unpainted, and I've never been accussed of being ricey....

It actually looks really good IMO...

I don't have any updated pics, BUT here's an old pic, with the old bumper:

If you have a good custom paint shop in town, they could paint it to your vehicles color but lay the paint thin enough to were the CF can still be scene through the paint. To get that intricate it is a bit expensive, but it's worth it to show off your goods.

That bumper is sex! for 400, g0d d4mn sex i tell you. If it was me, id paint the whole bumper but the flat lip, leave it for some contrast.

And unpainted carbonfiber, can look good....

Unpainted CF is for race cars or MAYBE black cars... but even then it's pushing it.

CF parts are sweet, though.

a CF hood, thats cool. A decklid, alright. But keeping the whole front bumper cf would look very out of place without the rear bumper, or at least a hood/decklid, to match.

I dont give a **** if people think its ricey, on black and white cf is sex. Bottom line, dont paint it please!
