As its similiar to the rest of the car in colour i think its ok. Personaly if i had a carbon bonnet i'd have it painted to match but thats near enough for my liking
16 days till its broke........does it matter if it looks ok?

Might be alright to keep and just put on for shows?? But would think on the road from a short distance that it'd look like you had a mismatched bonnet, maybe accident damaged etc??
Nice idea tho

looks like dodgy paint on a black saff, A moonstone 3door with black wheels would looks best unpainted carbonfiber parts (unless its a splitter or something small) only look good on cars with a non metalic paint

Not sure it looks quite right, would probably look better on a lighter coloured car.

Keep it but paint it car colour on the outside, then you have the advantage of weight and the bling factor when its open!
