depends on what u wanna do. Do you have any other CF on your car?

Pics of your ride would make it easier to say one over the other....

CF can be ricey,

+1 to trodis
depends on the look you are going for...I personally like it. A vented hood is functional if you are trying to evacuate heat (aka turbo). I had a CF hood, but I sold it because I didn't want to invest the money to paint it. Painting limits your resale audience significantly

The one above with the Axis rims and lambo doors IS my car.

The other is a car I found on here that I liked as well.

Mine has tinted windows, blacked out tails, nismo kit, and the lambo doors.

I like stock better over CF. Even an aftermarket is cool, but I just don't like CF on the hood.

I went with a seibon VT painted to match - with the exception of the vents.

Personally - I think entire CF hoods are too over the top for me.

Go with what YOU like.

What color is it painted? I have seen 2 painted hoods, 1 black and 1 blue. They both look really good..

Stock, unless you're planning to have other CF parts on the exterior.

carbon fiber painted the stock color. go for the weight savings and leave the bottom unpainted if you want to show it off.
