You can paint over the CF, but use this software to see what your car might look like with different colors... https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=308458

It might look real off cause its the whole front end that's gonna be dark. If you did black or a dark gray it would work better I think. Another option is do your red, but then just do a light coat of the red on the CF so you can still see the weave through the color. It was either an Evo or an eclipse I saw that on and it looked amazing.

CF in my opinion, needs to be shown off. Im not sure im sayin it right, but ive seen CF "speckled", where I guess in the booth they spray the paint into the air and let it settle on the CF giving it a little color, but nothing over the top. The final project looks hot, just my 2 cents bro.

If it was me, the CF would be left alone, CF is hot.
