The wing's not painted because it's not supposed to be painted. It comes from Subaru, on the Spec-C, unpainted. Find me one car that comes w/ an unpainted C/F hood from the factory.

And I never said that painting the hood *has* to be done, I understand that the C/F hood thing is a "look" that some people like.

In fact I don't even think it looks all that bad, it's just a ricey. However, leaving the stock white vents/scoop looks like "I can't afford to buy the whole hood, so I'll just re-use my old parts." Which looks exactly the same as those retards w/ the intentionally or financially unpainted body kits. At the least, flat black those vents!

Stock Aluminum Hood > Painted C/F Hood > Stock Steel Hood > Unpainted C/F Hood > Unpainted C/F Hood w/ Stock vents.

So, feel free to like the hood, I'm not trying to change your opinions, but you should recognize that you're all ricers.

PS: JC, you need hood pins on that thing, or one windy day driving across Washoe, you'll end up w/ no hood, and no stock vents.
