Might look good or might look weird... I say color match the outer portion of the hood and leave the inner portion (behind the vent) carbon fiber.
simi agreed, I'd paint the sides to give it a sleek look. Kinda like this car, of course matching the body lines

i say paint all of it except the little raised v section. so at least you show some carbon fiber but it still blends with the rest of the body

Just curious is the fitment issues because of the bumper or the hood? it looks like there is a problem where they meet?

I paint match my J's hood and it turned out very well, and not regret with the decision.
