depends on the color of the car. I would leave unpainted for black cars, for other colors, color match is best option. I have it unpainted and will be painting it soon to color match the car with the vents left unpainted and cleared up.

I'd paint it your body color(maybe a hard match)and leave the vents CF.
Too much CF going on...Not too keen of CF on a blue car.

Unpainted is rice, do you like driving a rice car.

Paint with CF accents , then you still get the bragging rights of a pointless hood on a Z

Paint it. Blackish gray and Blue do not go together. Idk bout you guys but i think a carbon fiber hood is rice as hell. I mean come on, the vents on that hood are lamer than all the fast and furious movies combined. But then again, thats just my opinion. Now if the car was a different color and you got carbon fiber roof painted black... thats nice =]

What happens if 5 members say yes and 5 say no? Then you are back to where you started.

Paint it! If you love carbon fiber, leave it unpainted. Just don't paint it and leave the vents unpainted. Talk about played out style.

I wouldn't do the upper half carbon thing either because that is just as played out as leaving the vents.
