Need color opinions!!

I'm going to get my ss hood painted tomorrow and I want to have the scoop painted like the "manta" style. Should I get it painted Gunmetal grey to match the wheels or just paint it black? I've never seen anyone do this color scheme before so I figure it will be unique to have the scoop painted gunmetal grey. what do you guys think??

heres some pics of my car. I just put the hood on today just to make sure it fit before I spend the money to have it painted.

Gunmetal only if you paint the mirrors to match.

If not, black.

GUNMETAL WITHOUT A DOUBT!!!! Black would make the wheels out of place...

I say do a GUNMETAL Manta AND Whistler mod your headlights with the same GUNMETAL color... MAYBE even BERGER panel in the same GUNMETAL color...

I would bake the lenses of the headlights, tape up the VERY BACK chrome part... scuff up (with a scotch brite pad) and take them with the hood to the painter.
