Default Trade hoods?

I found a guy that wants to trade his OEM Carbon Fiber hood straight across for a Milano Red OEM hood. My car is pretty clean, just a lip kit and lowered on Momo's. I like the all one color clean look, but I'm really curious as to how the CF hood would affect it. Just looking for some opinons



This is an old pic, but if someone has a minute to chop one on that would be most helpful

I'm sure it would look like every other MR Integra with a CF hood. I'd say keep the painted one, it just makes the car look better IMO, I'm not a huge fan of having the lines of a car broken up but different colors.

Unless you are building a race car, unpainted CF parts on a Honda makes you look like a kid.

You have kids.
