Flat Black w/ CF hood?

ive started body work on my crx and I just had this vision in my head...why not leave the flat black and add a cf hood? instead of painting the entire car all glossy, I really thought the flat would look sweet with a cf hood and bronze wheels.
Ive got the Sir front, mugen kit and bronze fn01-rc's...if anyone has any poics or opinions lemme know im in the middle of doin the bodywork so all suggestions will be duly noted.

I think it will look out of place, the hood will be too shiny.

I agree %100..It would look rediculous..

If I were you I would paint the whole car flat black including the carbon hood..But not with rattle cans,,With a gun and put on a matte clear coat.,.

If you have all that nice stuff paint it. Take this from a guy that has a flat black car and dreams of paint daily. Yeah it was cool for the first year or so but after that you will want paint. I'm mean you have SIR, Mugen parts on the car....paint it.

Things in contrast look good on cars. I don't like the look of any CF hoods on any type of black car, doesn't do it for me.
