I say paint it. Cf is beautiful and all but it just looks unfinished on a red car imo.

And we're very , very pissed off"

I say paint it. I'm wondering, don't they make red carbon fiber anyways? I'm sure I've seen it before.

Leave the hood for sure. Those front fenders look HORRIBLE IMO. Paint them red but maybe leave the carbon fiber around the wheelwell edge or something....that might look phat. It just looks outta place. Put those CF fenders on my Black car then they'd look mint.

Definitely paint the fenders, leave the hood, carbon fiber is nice but too much of it on your exterior is a bit ricey IMO. But nice ride overall.

IMO i would spray a red candy over it and call it red carbon fiber. My hood looks good when i sprayed an oriental blue candy from house of color on it. It changed the color of the cf to blu

I agree spray candy red that's what's up, if you wanted to paint it you should have stayed with your oem parts in the 1st place,be unique in your own way if not i'll trade your stuff for my stock??

My opinion, don't paint it, I actually saw your car for the first time a couple hours in your sig in another thread and it knocked me out, I love it. It's unique, and the black wheels pull it all together. You spent the money on the fenders, show em off.
