Car on fiber if left unpainted will not last long in the elements. Also, aftermarket hoods tend to have fitment issues and require work to get them to sit on right. If the design shape is different (vent holes, etc), you'll be screwing up the wind tunnel tested aerodynamics of the car. The carbon fiber hood might also weigh more than the stock aluminum one.
If you just want a black hood, get it wrapped.
THIS is the problem with F&F, case in point.
Is your car even paid off? If so and you want to improve on things and modify, then spend the money in places where it will improve the car, and not be "race inspired cosmetics". Might as well throw a roll cage made of PVC piping* in the back seat too bc you think it would look cool.
