I wouldn't paint it, the contrast would be off a bit since the hood itself is Carbon fiber and the blue is so bright. It looks badass though, but it is your car so go with what your gut says. How is the fit from VIS? I was thinking of getting the Carbon fiber 2000 Cobra R hood for my foxbody.

It's a perfect mold of a oem hood everything that a stock hood has under neath this one has like we're the good bolts onto the hinges and were it latches pretty good material and strong no flex what so ever
