I think it will look good because it will be very close to the color of your car.

But if you are going to get a new hood.....get something different than stock looking. I love the heat extractor hood you posted.

i don't think it will change much of anything because you car is already clost to carbon fiber color ne ways. Is it worth it too your to just shave a few pounds?

i think itll be nice looking, but i would say paint it, the same color as your car, you dont want it to be a little bit off, that looks like ***, i mean if it was like white with carbon fiber thats fine, it is way diff color, but yours is so close it will look like crap
just my opinion, but i say go with it, carbon fiber is bad ***, i have heard WAY good things about the carbon fiber driveshafts too!
