IMO, I would go back to OEM hood and a molded Hikka trunk pained OEM.

^This.

or....

Get the HakkataDori in Carbon and paint the back up to the lip, and leave the top CF.

Then on the hood, paint the edges EM and leave the center part CF (Starting at the width of the grill and following those body lines)

Im not really a fan of your trunk but the hood can stay, EM goes good with CF.

Well the solution is clear ins't it?

Either go TT or RB!

I like the trunk. The green and carbon are nice and different. Not like those other canadians that keep their green ones all stock-ish looking

You can't go wrong either way. It looks nice the way it is right now and if you went back to the oem hood and trunk with reverse lights it will still look just as nice.

If it was me....I'd paint the sides of the hood and go back to either reverse lights or OEM trunk ....actually I'd do the Hikkatadori trunk but I'm biased

Send me a hi-res pic and I'll PS what I'm talking about on painting the hood partially
