So to answer your question there is no savings from painting the CF kit just bad planning on my part.

KMRIS,
I have a question. I do not know much about cars like everyone here seems to know, but I am interested. What exactly did you do to your car , how much did it cost, and can you bring it to a place so people can do it? Please let me know because your car is unreal looking.

wait.. why paint over it though. Isn't it the point to get it "Carbon fiber" for the look? If you paint over it, it would be heavier than the Fiberglass kit that you ordered originally. Unless you plan to have segments of the kit still in carbon.. like the bottom lip area or something.
The reason I say this is because that piece is already a fiberglass skeleton kit with carbon fiber material on top... and now you want to paint over it, it'll just be heavier.
If you can, try to get the original kit and see if you can get it done with Dry carbon, and then paint over it... at least that way it will be a functional, light weight carbon but without the ugly texture of Dry carbon.

ings doesn't stamp that info on their parts. it would just be a badge that is found on the inside of the lip showing production date/factory/run# along with the ings logo which would be yellow for hybrid and white for frp.
