Default CF Hood

Well Im getting a Cf hood for my car and I'm debating wether or not to paint the sides and leave the middle CF. Does anyone have any pics of a CF hood with sides painted, preferably in silver?

cf and fiberglass hood makers reccomend them, because they arent as torsionally strong as the metal hood, and they flex so the latch is more prone to comming undone

i wouldnt paint them
but ya hood pins are for safety reason
CF hoods dont crumple like stock hoods which can be dangerous
