I think you should paint it black but keep the CF exposed on the vents. I have an extra pair of CF lower mirror covers if you want. haha

I think you should leave the middle portion of your hood Cf and paint the sides where it curves down, and leave the vents CF.

As much as that hood probably was, I'd keep it CF all the way!!!! May as well keep going too...CF the roof and deck lid. I love the CF on the M6 roof.

You spent the money for the CF, show it. If you must paint it, I like the idea of leaving the powerdome CF along with the vents.

Paint the exterior of the hood, leave the CF vents exposed. Or don't...
