Question Painted hood

I drive a 7thgen civic do you guys think that if I paint my hood black would it look okay or would it look ricey I am not too sure about it though just don't want to spend the money on a carbon fibre hood just want a cheaper alternative thanks for your replies.

P.S. might piant my trunk also have a black and silver interior so was think of bring that theme to the outside.

why not just save and go for the carbon fiber, it looks great and lowers weight, plus there is a sale on buy someone in group buys for 550 which is a damn good price

whats the point, it'll cost you $200 to paint the hood. Why not save up a few hundred more?

i wouldnt put the wrap on. First off it'll probably start bubbling or fade because of the sun. Secondly have fun getting that **** off, your paint will mostly likely go with it
