Black or CF?

I was wondering if anybody has ever painted their hood or trunk black instead of buying cf. I just want to see if there is a difference in look if you get the black paint at the right gloss.

Yes it looks different, unless you are really far away. It is tacky and lame, do NOT do it.

Yeah, it would look different, but cf imo is more done for weight reduction than looks, because I don't think it looks all THAT good, dosent look awfully bad though.

CF hoods look great. If you are choosing between cf and painting the hood black. I would choose the CF.
