Hey guys...I just bought a vorsteiner carbon fiber race hood for my car...My car is Alpine white...My question is, should I leave the hood carbon fiber black or should I have it painted to match the car...

Thanks
Ryan

both ways would look sick, but I voted match-paint and leave the vents cf for a cleaner look. Check out White5's car, he has the cf hood and I think with the cf hamman lip, it look sick! And oh powdercoat your wheels matte black too!! Then you should be ready for Mfest!!
