Default oem carbon fiber hood on black civic

i have a 92 civic 4dr sedan, soon getting mettalic black paint job with fl fenders and full urethane body kit. should i get a carbon fiber hood or stick with my original hood. my fear is that the carbon fiber hood will not be 2 noticble since the car is already black.

Carbon fiber lloks very good on black. Its suttle and attractive. However, I think a CF hood is uses for its intended functionality.

if you really intend to save weight just get a fiberglass hood because your getting cf layed over fiberglass unless you pay alot.
