I think carbon fiber looks like dog****, but I found a place that offers not only hoods, but also front and rear doors. There's no way I'd buy them unless I was a stupid rich racecar driver, but wouldn't they significantly drop gross weight?

Yup, if they're lighter than the stock body panels and I was building a race car I'd buy 'em and paint 'em.
I don't normally like the naked CF look. I've seen some black cars with unpainted CF that look dope though.

if it's on a black car then DO NOT pain the CF but if it's on any other color then I'd definately pain the CF
Unless you're planning to make a whole car out of CF
