I missed the second part of this question, yes you can paint it. All you would have to do is scuff the clear and respray.

I was just thinking about needing hoodpins and how it would detract from the overall appearance, but how they would also be needed for high speed driving. So why exactly would hoodpins be necessary for an OEM spec hood? Seems strange that the light weight would make it rattle that much if it fits perfectly. ..and just to ramble on: I want a CF hood with air vents!!

PM me to tell me of a welder that can craft me a modified Y pipe in the Los Angeles area! OR I may be willing to buy a 3 flange modified Y.

Well the fact that it is lightweight is why it can have a tendency to rattle at high speeds w/ no pins. The fit has nothing to do with that. A factory hood weighs considerably more, thus not allowing air to have its way with it.

according to our head designer, it would take a "catastrophic blow" to the hood for the latch to come undone from the hood... even then, just as a safety measure, we strongly recommend hood pins.

Just wanted to say I recieved my hood, and I am really impressed....
The quality of this thing is top notch....finish is beautiful...well worth the money.
I haven't put it on my car yet....lack of time...but I have no concerns, if it fits half as good as it looks.
I also want to thank "livinsvt" he's a good honest guy you can trust...easy to deal with, I never once was concerned about my money.
Thanks again.....when do we get the trunk...."less weigh is great"!!
