Default To Carbon Fiber Hood or Not To?

Hey everyone. I'm thinking about getting my front end resprayed and was wondering about a carbon fiber hood while I'm at it? Attached is a pic of my ride as she is now. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I would keep it all the same color. I never really cared for those carbon fiber hoods on a car. I mean it looks like you are about to have body work done on your car. Just my opinion but I like my cars to have matching color hoods.

if it's just the hood, it looks kinda out of place. CF does look nice with red though..maybe a CF Lip or half kit (lip/sides/rear difussers) would be a better match. But the Progressiv TE's are quite classy, and might clash with that idea.

I would stay one colour and without CF....

Carbon Fiber looks awesome on redline but I think having just the hood would look out of place. You need some kind of lip kit or something else to set it off. I agree with the other guy that your Progressive TE's look pretty damn classy and CF might clash with that a bit ...

Nice wheels but dont do just a cf hood looks too out of place. Can always buy a cf hood and paint it if its the hood you really want changed.
