Carbon Fiber can be painted..... But there's no rush.

.
As far as modifying current OEM designs. I don't know if I will ever do it again because of how much it $$$$$ and how long it takes! Sorry man, but when starting on a quality product I would love to finish in two months and not 12
So if the OEM design looks good, I'm happy with just a carbon copy! Any thing extra will take more time and money.
