Default does anyone have an all black hood!

Still contemplating this look, all black stock hood on my Torch Red. Found a local hood for cheap. I have a rear blackout panel, may have the spoiler painted to off-set the hood.

Although I'm not particularly fond of that look, I've seen a few others that have done it on other color S197's. Not bad but it always reminds me, at first glance, of a car with one fender a different color and I immediately think "When is that guy gonna get that fender painted to match?". I'd PhotoShop my car first before I'd take that step.

Thanks for the photoshop! If it's not too much trouble, any chance you can make the rear spoiler black? Would like to see how it balances out, thanks again.

I'd only paint the the middle black, along the creases in the hood that are flush with the grille. How much is the black hood selling for?

If its a good deal on the hood you could buy it and put some torch red vinyl along the outside of the hood so its more like the steeda style

I found two, one for $200 (perfect) and one for $100 (has some scratches).
