i are not crazy. Well if you want to paint your CF hood congratulations

.... you will no longer have to worry about the sun causing the resin in the CF to haze over....

Almost any bodyshop can paint it for you.... talk to them about it ... they should mention adding FLEX to the paint so it doesnt crack.... if they dont you might want to inquire about it, so that if your hood decides to flex, kinda like when you punch it... the paint wont crack

Just wait for my cf hoods to come in (they're late)

I wouldn't paint a CF hood, I'd rather vinyl it, much cheaper and lasts longer.

Now if you got something like this made:

Then there would be a good chance I would buy one, as long as someone is willing to take the one I have right now off my hands
