need opinions for painted CF hood

Hey all. I'm in the process of choosing a paint scheme for my Vis CF hood from vis. Originally I was going to leave it CF, but I put a small crack in the resin right in the center above the grill while i was installing my aerocatch latches. That will have to be covered by paint after the shop preps/repairs it so there is paint template on the bottom edge of each design. Also I am getting a the strafe CF trunk and I have black overlay on my roof so you get the idea of the theme. These are a few of the ideas I'm looking at. I took the pic with my cell and used barebones MS paint to do the color so they are rough. I appreciate all comments/ideas

I have a similar hood and I painted the entire thing body color but I painted the vents black.

I thought that looked really good.

Are you the guy I met in at RPM in Dallas? You were parked with the Jo-Tec guys right?

^^Xet, Konx I looked at Patman's and it looks good with his black roof too. I may go that route just so it's simple. I can just leave the vent CF.

^^ Hah, I thought that was you. Too bad I never caught you around post. I've finally moved back to Houston, for good. I started my terminal leave on Monday.

Thanks for the compliments. Once you get your hood painted, I'd like to see some pictures up. Tony's Auto Tech down on Business 190 painted my Honda a few years ago and he did some excellent work. I would recommend you give them a call and see what they tell you.

Enjoy your leave and thanks for your service. Always sad to see guys get out, but a the Army can take it's toll. Good luck in your new endeavors down in Houston and maybe I'll see you at some other car shows!!!
