i guess it depends on how you want it done and who you get it done by...

some people like the effect of the cf so i guess they put on a lighter layer of paint so the cf texture can still be seen a bit..

Just a note on bonnet pins, they have to be the flat ones that don't stick up off the bonnet or they won't be legal

theres no significant benefits to having vents and scoops and evo and RA bonnets on nonevo nonRA lancers unless something real serious is happening under the bonnet itself making you car travel at speeds enough to even make having vents and scoops functional.

If the texture of the weave is showing through paint the Carbon fibre hasn't been correctly laid up.

The weave should be hidden under a level coat of epoxy, to show its weave like this there is a major resin failure and the part's integrity would have been compromised as there isn't enough material to completely bond with the material.

Alternatively it could have been a bonnet they have Dinoc'd then cleared and painted
