Well this ones easy. What can you afford? A paint job will cost a lot more than a cf hood. If you can afford the paint, go with that.

If you can get the paint job go that route. Alot of people do not have any one help them out way. Most people cannot get an paint job at that price.

dont do paint, get the other stuff and do the paint in a year or two that way youll have a fresh paint job even though your car is a few years old.

If you go with paint youll have to pay for that AND then pay for other body pieces that you might add on later... I'd say go with the hood. At this point you'd get a lot more looks with the hot hood rather than with a different color that doesn't really stand out too much.

I think you should go 2-tone. Leave the top and hood Black, and paint the sides the Black Cherry. That would rock! Then you could go CF hood later and still look good.

i would go for the hood only because the paint is fine its brand new... you can always wait and paint it 3-4 years down the road

I wonder how a carbon fiber hood would look on a car that color? I think it would look cool if you got the carbon fiber hood and then had the car and the hood painted the Black Cherry color
