Also, are the blue seats too much?

i vote dont

I've wondered about this myself. I would paint everything and leave parts of or edges of the vents unpainted.

I like the stealthier look. A full unpainted carbon hood just sticks out too much, doesnt look like it belongs.

^I agree with @PandaSPUR maybe just leave a few accents unpainted.

Paint it all!

Paint.

paint the hood

I just did the poll, but as for the seats I like the blue!

Paint it and get rid of the chicken wire

if anyone read my post, wet carbon hoods weight close to OEM hoods, roughly 1 lb less. the weight of the paint would make it the same as an OEM hood weight, probably would have been cheaper to make vents in the original hood anyway if the goal was heat management.

Then again, if you do paint it; leave a CF trim around the vents to give it some sport of stealthy accent.

Yes, I bought the hood simply for heat management. It is also aesthetically appealing too.
