If done right I think it could be tasteful.

Looks really good if done right and the colors are a good match.

IMO, that red is too dark for Redline, but the blue might match up well for Daytona Blue.

That's a carbon/kevlar hood. Kevlar get's expensive. I'd stay away from Ebay hoods, that are not high brand name, such as VIS etc.. Also, often times ebay items like that are cheaper because they are blems, and they don't let it be known.

As for the hood color, the best thing to do to get the best results would be to get an ordinary CF hood, and take it to a decent body shop, and have them color sand it down a bit, and spray some clear with some color in it. A few coats and it will look similar, and you'll have a very glossy, and UV protected hood.

Unhappy with Performance? They have good reputations though. My own experience has been great...
