If you get a CF hood, then paint it, won't you cover up the fiber look???? Which would just make it look like any other hood. So why do it?

For the weight difference I guess... I sort of thought of one as well, but I think fiberglass might be the cheaper, more reasonable way to go if you want the weight loss, and want to paint to match.
