Personally, I love cf on silver, but the hood might be a little much. That doesn't mean it has to be a yes or no answer. Why don't you consider painting some of it like Mig888? I think your couple is by far the most creatively moded with the rear wing and all, so just add a little creativity to the hood and I think you will be pleased.
I'm not experienced with photoshop, but I'm considering getting a black cl style grill and following the body lines on the hood from the grill to the windshield.
Can some of you pshop fellas show him what I'm talking about? I've seen a silver C32 on here that has it and it look awesome.

How about something like THIS....

BUT with a time attack to match the red seperating line? I think it needs something to seperate the Black/Silver

Sorry, Only pic I could find of it was in my Dupont Mag

I'd say go for it. I always appreciate uniqueness, and something different, as long as its not overkill. I don't consider a cf hood overdoing it though

haha Maybe this weekend, if I don't have any surprise-Midterms the following week.

on a side note: I think painting the upper chrome portion of the grill black is a great idea. Maybe matte black? Makes it more rugged.

I saw a coupe at the socaleuro event with a real CF hood, thing was nice but it really didnt look right. If you painted it like above that would look awesome, goes with the scheme of your spoiler.

Here are some pics of the coupe, I think he's a member. . .
