Probably around 200-300 dollars...Silver is the hardest color to match, told by an awesome body shop, so when I was quoted a body kit, they also included costs to blend in the fenders etc...might look good unpainted...if you go with it...try it out first unpainted...
I migth also be interesed, but if it was like the veilside hood...![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I mean...if you paint it, who cares??? You are only saving a minimal amount of wiegth

can you actually paint over carbon fiber material?
i think for many who has the CF hood, they actually prefer leave it in the CF finish. but some may say it is a bit much for the GS. just what i heard.

I have seen carbon fiber painted before...it was on a 2nd gen eclipse. I personally wouldn't suggest it, but it can be done. Also, like I said earlier, there is no point in buying one of these hoods unless you want to show it off or are doing some major weight reduction for racing etc. I personally would buy the Veilside hood though it is a bit more.
