Hey guys just wanted to answer a couple ? No, the hood does not come painted and I don't know if it's functional but even if it is the "ram air" on our cars is kinda pointless IMOP. Our motors sit sideways in the car so there really isn't any "raming air" into it. At least not with all the bends the air would have to go threw. I'll stick with my CAI. Anyway I'll post pics of the hood tomm. if all goes well.
