Default 2-tone ....what do u think

what do you guys think of this....sorry for the horrible pictures...i just colored them in cause i can't photochop stuff so.....but i'm thinking either charcoal grey or just straight gloss black for the hood and the wheels (just the spokes and center, not lip or center caps) some chick hit my fender and bumper the other day at school and i'm painting the front end in a couple weeks and i figured i'd see what everyone thought cause i'm considering it

Big negative. It would look like you had dropped a bucket of paint on your car.

You have a really nice car already. Unless you get a ram air hood don't do it. I love the color combo, just not with a stock hood...
