carbon fiber v. paint



i love that hood.
but i want one that will kinda match my car, cuz i dont like the dark CF hood on a white car uk?

my question is, are there any hoods out there that i can paint?
cuz (correct me if im wrong) but im pretty sure you cant paint CF

i do not have a lancer yet, but if i cant find a black one, i wanna know my options

thnx in advance

you can paint Carbon Fiber. I did on my lancer and loved it. It's easier to take care of and doesn't yellow up if you paint it. Also i think it looks better imo.
