Default need your opinion on hood color

So I'm picking up a replica 2000 cobra fiberglass hood. I have a 02 gt. Mineral gray. Should I paint it. Same color as car. Glossy black. Or matte black? I'm leaning towards glossy black. But would like some other opinions. Any input is appreaciated. Thanks.

I've never been a fan of mismatched hoods or unpainted carbon fiber hoods, so I vote glossy black.

EDIT: DURRR... I didn't notice you said your car was mineral gray. I thought it was black, so in your case, I'd go with mineral gray.

Yea I'm thinking of a two tone type car. Most being mineral gray factory. With black hood. Blacked headlights and tailights and rims. I already have 5% tint all around.

It you do just one body panal in black, it's going to look like a Honda trying to be a race car.
