I must admit that the green color would not have been my choice. However, I respect you for being BOLD. After all, who cares what others think. That being said, I personally would not buy such a amazing peice of carbon and cover it with a solid color. However, if this is still the route you want to take, yes I agree, cover the center hump.

I would like to have seen what a product like xpel stealth would have looked on the hood alone to keep the satin theme but possibly still show the carbon. Not sure if it would or not or just appear gray. Hmmm.

So much to think about. Haha. That is why I just had mine xpel ultimate clear ppf applied. I am terrible @ changing colors.

Or since you keep certain front carbon accents gloss. Perhaps just leaving the hood with clear ppf would be the perfect recipe?

Hmmmm.

I love that you did the cf hood mod, don't see too many of those on the f95. Ive been contemplating that exact hood but mine is white and I would probably just paint match it. I just think its such a nice touch lol Do you have any feedback on it ? Can you hear any engine sounds better ? Does it feel any lighter at all ? Does it look really cool from the driver seat seeing the scoops there everyday ?
