Mosaic black looks awesome. Good choice on the hood.

I’ve already got the satin black trim theme going on, so I might actually just do that. Splitter is the stock 1LE style in satin, along with the front lip area below the grille wrapped satin too. Wheels are silver though.
In addition, wrapping it would be much more cost effective than painting it. Quote:

I ordered this hood. I am going to either have it wrapped or painted to match my 1LE satin hood.

That looks great. I think the gaps are damn near perfect. The ones shown on another thread of a carbon hood were huge, for me at least.

Didn’t get but a quick look at it and I had no time to test fit but the finish looks fantastic. I don’t think it will need any prep work for the wrap.

Is the hood material white as in the pictures? I've always wondered if the underside white color would show (through the vents) if the top part was only wrapped.

The hood is white. I believe the fiberglass directly under the vents is black so shouldn’t be an issue. I will check tomorrow when I can get a closer look.

Well I got the hood on - sort of. Everything attached fine but when I tried to close the hood it would not go down fully. The striker didn’t want to seem to push the latch mechanism on the car. Well for some stupid reason I tried one more time with a little extra force and the hood closed fully. Only problem is now it won’t release... from what I can tell it almost looks like the striker is a little too big and wedged itself down in. I’m not sure what I can do except to try to take a long screwdriver through the upper grill assembly beside the bow tie and try to pry it loose.

I was able to gently pry the hood open with a screwdriver I measured the striker length as is to the OEM and they seem the same. The only difference seems to be the new striker is slightly thicker. Did you have to lengthen or shorten yours?? Thanks!
