Default Need opinions! Changing color

Well ive always wanted a white LS1 car but have always had black. In the next couple months i plan on painting my black car white. Heres where i need opinions. I plan on painting the door jams and hatch jams but under the hood will remain black. I plan on getting a VFN sunoco hood when it gets painted. I was thinking since the underside of the hood would be like a flatish black and the rest of the engine bay would be a flatish black from factory it would match. As for the exterior i planned on leaving the grille black, matte black sunoco stripes, roof black, dark window tint, whistler headlights, painted berger panel with stainless inserts and possibly some powdercoated black zr1 wheels. Do yall think this would be a good combo? Should i change anything?

just paint the hood white, you can leave everything else you want black. But it must be the same color as the car.

I love white too.... I wouldn't leave the roof or mirrors black. Make em white too. Satin engine bay, satin berger panel, satin sunoco stripes will be the perfect offset. IMO! What color white you going with?
