That's what I'd do too. Paint the hood, leave the vents carbon.

I don't like the idea of spending a large amount of money, and then having to make adjustments just to make it fit right.

You should be able to purchase it, put it on, and fitment should be spot on.

Fitment is superb. The body shop didn't have any issues getting things lined up. We only had to decide what to do about the hood struts. They have been deleted.

Sorry but I can't itemize installation cost as lots of other things were being done at the same time. No wreck, just drove into a wall of pebbles that pock marked my front end.

This exposed CF hood get lots of attention at Cars & Coffee. People just can't help but to run their finger across it (mildly annoying). And earlier this year I won first place at a local MBCCA event. The painted w/exposed vents is cool also but I am going to keep it as is.
