Question Opinions on a CF hood

I wanna get a CF hood for my car, but im not sure if it would look right. Its bright red. I know CF looks good with most dark colored cars, but im not sure it would look right on mine. Heres a link to some pix if you wanna check them out to get a better idea.

i'm sure it would look fine. do a search for a pic. no one says you have to keep it unpainted. i think too many people buy carbon fiber products for looks, when it's designed for weight savings primarily. i imagine if i had a c/f hood, i would paint it.

I think if your going for the black on red look it would look good..what you should do is change the tail lights back to stock and smoke them out IMO it would look cleaner.

i think it would look good, you should black out your headlights and drop the car also!

I have a similar looking civic. If i were to put a CF hood on it, i'd go for the one which dips into the engine bay in the middle and has three vents on both the left and right side. I don't have a pic unfortunately but its in the NFS underground 2 game. Looks pretty sik IMO
