Wouldn't make sense to buy a carbon fiber hood and paint it. Would be better off buying fiberglass or Duraflex then.

Are Duraflex's hoods actually more durable than just fiberglass? They claim it, but every company always does

Looks like you already have a ws6 hood lol. Why would you spend all that money for very minimal weight differences. Plus carbon fiber looks ricey in my opinion.

A person on another forum was complaining about his duraflex hood. Said it took ALOT of prep and block work because it was wavy as hell.
