Arrow Seibon CF Hood - Paint or No Paint ?

CF hood on it's way. Debating on painting or just leaving it as is. Post your thoughts and pics of yours if you've done this. Thanks

I don't believe the weight savings is that much, maybe 6lbs ?? However I went with this hood for other reasons

I had full plans of painting with CF vents exposed. But after a test fit, I really liked the CF look and it’s stayed on (USB)

I wonder if there is a cf hood with smaller more subtle vents like the LFA?
