actually CF dont go well with blue Z's, especially when it turns yellow-ish. so i would second others by voting for paint it all

i have the same hood on my db as well. i'm in the process of painting the rest of my cf as well. i say do it. color matching for that perfect clean look is the way to go.

I wouldn't do the upper half carbon thing either because that is just as played out as leaving the vents.
That style is not really played out, hardly anyone actually does it. Played out would be leaving the whole thing CF like the riced out civics.

Talking seibon carbon fiber 350z hood

I think it would look great painted (including the vents).

I think the modified z's look great with painted carbon fiber hoods, I like unpainted too, but if I had to choose I would probably go painted.

Paint it in my opinion. I'm painting all my CF. Think it looks so much cleaner that way. Except for Wing / Diffuser though.

Paint it all. Leaving the vents was cool and new years ago. Everyone will be able to tell you have an aftermarket hood without the exposed carbon fiber.
