That is one 'beauty' just the way it sits. I don't see any way that can be improved upon.

trust me if racecars could get away with no painting over the carbon fibre body shell they could do!
we bareshell painted an intergrale and we think theres around 20kg+ of primer/paint/laquer
It's not a track car and it's just the bonett and I defy anyone to lift it and tell the difference between painted and unpainted. Compared to the steel factory bonett it's a HUGE difference and lighter than others I've personally checked that were unpainted. It can depend on the quality of the CF part. You don't know the situation and shouldn't make judgements without knowing why mine was replaced. If the weight of the paint I used is the best arguement you have for leaving 'one' (1) body part unpainted, well then I won't waste anymore time on the subject as it's not worth debating.

Yep, already said that. Finding a pic of a white S4 for comparo wasn't that easy as it was.....let alone with a specific wheel set up.
