Here are the pros and cons:
Pros of gloss black is that my roof is done already and i know the hood will look good. and its cheap

pros of matte black is that it will be different and its cheap. Con is that im not sure if it will look good or not so its a risk

Pros of carbon fiber is that it will look sick bur con is that it is double the price of gloss and matte

I booked an appointment to have it done on june 10 but i cant decide between the 3???

Any pictures or comment will help

I'm not a fan of vinyl wraps, but if I had to pick one, I'd go with the gloss black.
If you want carbon fiber, just get a carbon fiber hood. Go real or go home. Gotta pay to play. *insert random cliche' here*
Matte black? uhhh no don't do that. Being different for the sake of being different isn't good.

Gloss black or don't bother. Matte black's just a taste thing, but carbon fiber vinyl is one ricer step away from LEDs in your windshield washer nozzles.

I would choose none of the above. If I really wanted a black hood on my car, I'd just invest in a carbon fiber hood since it would actually have (limited) performance benefits. We are different personalities though. I don't like to feign performance. If my car looks fast, it had better be fast.

Summary- Save your money. If you can't, then buy the real deal.

i can buy the real deal its just a waist of money. You get 0 performance upgrades from the carbon fiber hood, nor do I care to make my car fast.
This is the place that does it and the wraps are really good.

Looks fine the way it is.

Just keep your car the way it is. If you do the hood, you have to do the trunk, too.

If you're deadset on doing this, match the roof.

i bought the vinyl off a guy and i got a shop in toronto to install it about 2 years ago. it was hard to find someone who did it at the time but now it should be easy to find a shop that can do it.

Replacing a steel hood with carbon fiber can result in 30lbs in weight reduction. That is approximately a 1% reduction in overall weight. Not much, but certainly every bit helps.

This wrap job agrees with my aesthetic taste. Multi-colored cars have harsh color transitions that are hard for me to appreciate.

I will say that it's good that everybody has different tastes, otherwise we would all be driving the same looking vehicles, and that would be very boring.
