Definitely repaint the hood. if you do opt for the CF, maybe just paint it up to the 'creased' part of the hoos, so there is kind of like a large, black CF stripe going down the middle. Maybe...

Any CF even oem one would look great on this color, add some titanium gunmetal wheels to match it.

Caribbean Blue is extremely difficult to get a good match on, that's for sure.

Had to get the rear bumper replaced and after two tries it still is a little too dark, even from the best painter I could find. CB is probably the hardest G35 color to match.

I think that hood is just made for the coupe. I tried looking at on for a sedan and never found one.

I would paint the CF hood, looks out of place on the car IMO.

Keep that stock puppy. It is aluminium, so you won't save THAT much weight.
