Default Need pics for ideas

I have the Tiger Shark front bumper and Carbon Fiber ZR2 Edition hood and was trying to get ideas on what I want to make the hood look like with paint/ wrap and have it flow with the car. I would like to leave the vents showing the carbon fiber, right now the car looks like I just slapped on a Carbon hood. I attached a pic of the car and Was hoping anyone who has the ZR or ZR2 hood could post pictures of what they did with their hood? Heck if anyone is creative and would be willing to create something using the pic I would greatly appreciate that too. Name:  zfront.jpg

Just paint it body color the hood looks great as is.

I would leave the area behind the Center vent exposed in CF like my MCM, paint the rest body color.
