Black Carbon Fiber Hood on GVR4?

I would like to know if this would look good or stupid on a Belize Green GVR4? I have spent REDICULOUS amounts of money trying to repaint my stock hood with premixed rattle cans (the type that you get on the internet that is matched for your vehicle).

I just can't get it to look right. I am considering getting a carbon fiber hood but I think a black one might look stupid on a Belize Green GVR4. I would like to see if I can get one that is already green since I am burnt out with trying to paint the hood.

Would a black hood look rediculous on a Belize Green GVR4? I think it would.

Any thoughts or pics?

Thanks!

Natural carbon fiber doesn't look bad at all on belize green. I think a painted black hood doesn't make much sense at all.

Or... for the price yo would spend on a carbon hood, you could have a shop spray the hood for much less.

Options. There's plenty of them.
 

My car is BG and i have the RS carbon Fiber hood. It looks good but i am painting mine for that "stealth"(8 second stealth yeah) : ) look. If no one posts up a pic by the morning i will of my car.
 

Thanks for the quick responses. I expected this to be one of those types of posts that lingered for days. I checked the member's ride section but didn't see the hoods. Thanks for posting. It looks pretty damn impressive on a BGVR4. I would have it professionally painted but I am kind of stubborn. I will use the rest of the rattle can for the roof which I think will be much easier.

CF looks strange in the sun too, it reflects the weave. Two pics above are the same car, first pic in the sun the second pic on an overcast day.
