Default HR "Hood Bump" Satin Black Wrap - What do you think?

Hey Guys,
I was getting my windows tinted earlier today and we were talking about how awesome the HR hood was looking. I really love it. Anyway, since I started a Satin Black theme (Satin black front lip, wrapping the roof next week), we decided to play with that "bump" on the hood to see how it would look like.
I personally love it.

What do you guys think about this?







I have a poll so feel free to vote

Thanks

^ negative, should leave it alone. If you want black accent get a cf hood.

To each their own. I don't think it looks that bad.

Roof is going to look good with the window tints. I agree with the consensus. The hood, lip, and handles got to go.

Just because you're too cheap to paint your lip, doesn't mean you should make everything else match the bare urethane.

Paint the lip silver, finish your door handles, and leave your hood alone.

The lip has been painted in Matte Black.
If I were " cheap " or poor or anything you mean, I wouldn't do any work to the car.

I appreciate your suggestions, guys.
I am getting the car lowered and installing my exhaust and intake Friday, after that I have an appointment to get the roof wrapped in Satin Black. I am also putting a Satin Black overlay on the Tails.
I will probably get the hood wrap and the door handles wrap removed at the same time.

Do you guys have other suggestions to keep the Satin Black / Silver theme going on?
Any suggestion would be appreciated!

Thanks again

Did you mean to say "Moron"? Now that's funny.

if you're going to do the roof, glossy black will look 100% better, but tinted tails will still look like @ss.

I meant to write " Mean ", I'm on my phone ! Sorry

Thanks for the lip suggestion

For the tails, it's not a full tint. I hate tinted tails.
The braking lights will be left like clear, like this : http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&c...pw3TYgaN8Y#p=0

It's not the worst thing that's been done to a Z. I think it's... *meh*. Personally I would have left the hump alone.

It's not terrible. It's not particularly good either. I think if the car had aftermarket wheels or some other mods, it would look less out of place.

I think if you remove the hood wrap, eBay lip, door handle wrap, and put back on the amber reflectors, then the car would look good. Stock.
