See you hit on it there djomlas... I'm just a kid. 37 yrs old, but still definitely a kid! Clearly you just don't get "it". Pick up any modified car magazine - Modified, D Sport, Sport Compact Car, and you'll see a LOT of cars sporting unpainted carbon fiber bits, especially hoods. It's a look, a new look. Take a look at the new Taurus and Prius and you'll see the same kind of tail lights too. Again, it's a look - a newer look.

Actually the carbon fiber hood is painted. The carbon fiber is covered with several layers of clear epoxy and/or clear coat. I bet the paint alone is 1/8" thick! But it's painted with a UV resistant material to keep it looking clear. It's actually produced and meant to be left clear like that... Clearly the manufacturer gets "it".
