Default Hood dilema, opinions? (sol)

My 1994 del Sol going to be painted in a week or so and I have to get a new hood because mine has a nice dent/crease in it.

I'm putting on a mugen copy bumper (without aux holes) and painting the stock sides red to match the car.

I can't decide weither to get a replacement OEM hood and keep her all red or get a cf hood, they're gonna end up costing me about the same money wise so its pretty much how it will look that matters.

I'm leaning towards OEM replacement because I think it'll flow better with the bumper and sides but just wanted to get other peoples opinions.

heres my car for any sort of reference.

Get a carbon fiber hood. If you don't like the way it looks, paint the carbon fiber hood when you get you car painted....

Carbon fiber. Leave it, paint it red, or get a candy red clear coat over it so it's tinted red.

get a fiberglass hood and paint it that's a better option than CF at any rate, and you wont look like takumi fujiwara with a black hood.

go all red oem, unless your going carbon trunk as well, it just flows better. I wish I had the red hood for my car but I want a carbon trunk anyway
