Default Shark Fins Paint or No Paint
I recieved the shark fins and scoop today and started laying out the placement of the fins on the hood. My plan is to mount 4" Spal fans below the fins to move air when at slow speeds. Question is should I leave the fins as is carbon fiber or paint to match the hood? I have the scoop also but I believe it would be too much. Opinions.

Is that a photoshop job of the scoop or is that the actual one?

I like the way carbon fiber looks personally. I would leave them.

That is the actual scoop just laying on the hood. It would set down into the hood. If installed would probalbe move it back a little bit.

Ditch the hood scoop. I have a Deep Cherry Red so I would pain the fins... you maybe able to get away with carbon on yours since the color blends nicely.
