Buy a CF hood or Repaint OEM?

My Hood got keyed a while back and im just getting around to fixing it its not bad by all means but it looks nasty to me. Its gonna run me anywhere between 500-600$ to repaint the entire hood. To buy a new hood and actually have something to show for this money being spent i could potentially just buy a CF hood, if so please specify.

What you you do?

The carbon fiber hood would look very nice with the Carribean blue car. I would go that route....

G35 Coupe "Sport Package"
RE-PAINT, RE-PAINT! only go CF route if you plan on doing the trunk CF, painting your roof black and adding CF front lip spoiler. they make CF mirror covers as well. you have to carry the theme to make it look good. it will also look better with gunmetal or black wheels. stand alone CF hood only looks good on OB imho. i did CF hood only on my BS sedan and it looked like crap...sold it. but it is your car.

If you're planning on the Stillen lung why not make the move with a hood
that will work in the future? And if you get one paint it CB, don't leave it
unpainted. You don't want your G look'in like a patch work quilt!

On that color, I would repaint. IMO, the car is not aggressive enough for CF.
