Because of the very high heat under there whatever you do will have to stand up to that..getting it painted with some kind of picture will cost more than a mirror kit...its not a cheap mod to attempt...
This is a good option, might do it myself sometime

Take it off, remove the hardware, lights, wires etc and paint it body color. I have seen this before and it looks very nice. This won't work with a black car too well though.

One of the guys in my Corvette club used metal polish to polish the whole inside of his hood -- insane! It looks like it was painted with high gloss black paint, which is probably a LOT easier to do.
