I like the look of a carbon fiber hood (as long as it's a plain OE style hood), but a lot of people dont. The racers will say to buy it for weight savings and then paint it, the "all show" guys will tell you to buy one with a thousand huge vents in it.

I'd say talk to Mitch about it, ZX3tuning seems to having a deal with a really high quality manufacturer. And buy it because you like it, not because anybody else says it'll look good or not.
