tape off the vents and paint the top part. that way you see the carbon only around the vents and it will clean the front of you car up. othewise raw carbon looks great

If anything, just have it re-cleared for protection.

There can't be much weight difference between Oem and carbon hood. Oem is pretty light. I vote paint it. I always told myself if I got carbon parts, I'd paint match. Go for it…you'd be more baller
