Default My pewter z28

Heres some pics of my 2000 z28. It was a B4C car before, I did T-top conversion.
Mods are:

MTI X1 cam(230/227 112lsa)
Straight pipe Exhaust
Tuned by me
Carbon fiber SS hood.

What do you guys think, does the carbon fiber hood look ok on the car or should I take it off and put back the original hood?

I hate carbin fiber on the outside of cars unless it's the grill. I would paint it and have the scoop painted black.

I agree! Paint the hood LPM except for the manta. That would be wicked.
