If you're going to paint the hood then consider a fiberglass variant as oppose to the CF one. Why would you paint the CF one when you're clearly paying more for that reason. And lets be honest here... The only thing separating a mass manufactured CF hood and a fiberglass hood nowadays is one sheet of CF and some gel coating so weight difference between the two are marginal at best.
Only issue being yes Love to show the cf. But for those living in south fl know what the sun does to cf. Hense painting will keep in good condition. Buttt it does lose the whole point of paying all that money.
Not much of a market for the 2IS as far as aftermarket hoods go. CF is gonna be pretty much the only way to go - and painting over it if you dont like the CF look. I guess you could have a shop do custom work on the OEM hood to modify it with vents or whatever you would like - but after fabrication/labor cost and repainting, you will be a good amount over just getting a CF hood and painting it.
Grrrrrrrrrrrr
