I guess they apply some layers of primer that make it adhere better to the CF?
It is probably expensive when one considers the actual weight savings of a CF hood. Most people don't want it painted because they want the CF look. I like it on the interior, but I'm not sold on mismatched exterior body parts though.

i think cf on black cars looks good, only because it's very subtle..but i definitely think color-matched looks better...the only reason i was considering a cf hood was because my buddy who works at one of those online parts suppliers warehouses had one lying around that he was going to sell me for cheap, but it ended up being a special order for a customer that just got lost for a while, so he couldn't sell it to me..

so right now i'm rolling around with a silver hood on my brilliant black a4 [&:]

I'll start, but I'll be gentle. Other may not...
Ummm... Why not something a little more subtle? Are you going for looks? Or, is this more of a "form-follows-function" kinda thing? Planning a big-turbo that'll nee the extra airflow?
