I have an invader carbon fiber hood, full invader bodykit molded, and z3 fenders. Car goes into shop in the next day or to to redo the whole front since my accident, and Im havin them paint teh whole car so it will guarentee match. Car is bright white with frost blue pearl. Should I leave the carbon fiber hood or should I paint it?

The only way I'd paint it is if I painted it like phat's but that's kinda rude. I say leave it

Leave it, why paint carbon fiber? Unless of course the carbon fiber is like messed up or something, then paint it.

Painting it will add weight to your hood which kinda defeats the purpose of a carbon fiber hood.
