    :Welcome: from Atlantic Canada.

    If you are looking for a fiberglass hood, you should take it one step further and buy a Carbon Fiber Hood. A member here produces them and they are of the very highest quality. Several members here are using them.

    :Welcome:to the board.... To answer your question. Yes, you can paint the hood & leave the Grabber stripe as the carbon fiber in the hood....
