Default all black hood on torch red...

Looking for pictures or thoughts of placing an all black stock hood on a Torch Red. I've seen hoods that have decals or painted partially, but never a completely black hood. Thanks!

Ive seen some cars, mostly imports but same concept with glossy black hoods and it seems out of place. If it was carbon fiber may be, that i like but glossy black i have mixed feelings. If it were flat black with other flat accents like wing, side stripes and/or a trunk panel that may look cool.

One thing i do like is when people get say a carbon or black hood and bring the color of the car on to the hood with some kind of stripes/blending to have half the hood the color of the car and the other the carbon or black, thats cool but its tough to make it "fit" on the car

Please don't, you have a nice looking car going there. The whole black/carbon fiber hood thing is just ricey as hell IMO.

^ That was in response to your original post lol. Yeah, you can make it look really good as long as you don't go solid black. IDK it's a pet peeve lol.
