Default I Need To Repaint My Hood

Okay, I have 04 civic.. B96p original deep blue paint job... all stock from the outside... new rims soon... my hood is chipped to high heaven so I am thinking either get it repainted professionally or just get a carbon fiber vis invader hood... what do you think would be good? If cf hood should I go dark rims?

If you get a CF hood, it could be sharp if you pick up a set of the black polished 5-spoke rims that have the chrom lip on them.

Alternatively, a set of clean 17-spoke rims would look good on a dark car.

See if you can get a CF trunk-lid too and keep it looking symmetrical.

Well, if you can't get a CF trunk, just hop over to a junkyard and snag the trunklid from a black '04.

What should I do for the OEM spoiler? Do i need a black spoiler to go along with it? I would rather die than have one of those crappy wing ones.

Totally CF hood but look into Seibon, they are an awesome company at low prices, lower than VIS and I personally like the Seibon styles much better.
