I would leave the hood and fade the vents in so you can see the CF

Why would you mess with a near perfect setup? I've looked at pic of your car that you've posted before, there's only one thing I'd change on your IP coupe...your grille looks like some big azz black lips on a white chick. Paint your girlle IP and leave everything else alone, paint the grille and your perfect!

Absolutely not... it looks good as is. I don't particularly like that black outline on your grille either, but I can't think of any other option that would look better though.

You guys have crazy wide streets in your neighborhood for a residential area.

That street is about as wide as one direction of most of the highway is here in Mass. I would have killed for a street that wide with no big downhill dropoffs and thorn bushes on the side to play street hockey on as a kid.

Hood looks fine. I agree with the paint the grille comment above though. I never have understood the reason of leaving carbon fiber parts unpainted to have a mismatched car. I mean is it to prove the parts are carbon fiber or something? Keep it painted, have a matching car, all while retaining what CF is meant for, weight reduction. Good looking car, I must say.
