Does this look good (vented CF hood inside)
Props to thesnowboarder for letting me get the photos. I've had a couple people tell me that it would look better painted black. I was worried the bulge would look too aggressive for the rest of the car, but I'm not worried about that anymore. I sorta dig the raw CF, but a fiberglass + painted version would be a little more low-key.
Ideas/opinions?

Was the hood latched? It looks like there is a rather large gap on the front edge. I am assuming you just threw it on quick though.
IMO it looks sick, I think raw CF is way played out but that would definitely be the hot **** painted black.

I like it.. if you fix the gap in the hood. It would look double good if you fixed the hole in the front bumper.
Leave it CF imo. Only because cf/black looks really good in real life, and not so good in pictures.

I swear the top of the bumper cut is straight. The airflow has put a wave in the bumper so it doesn't look straight. I'm going to do a Brightning duct eventually to clean it up. Hood fitment is poor because we didn't even attempt to straighten it up.

I say keep it as long as you can get it to fit better and then paint it black.
