Not many white cars with a blue hood. Looks kinda cool.

Paint it black, then go to walmart and get the rubber mats that looks something like a cross inbewteen these:

Then lay these over the black hood and spray a darker silver ontop of it. It makes a decent carbon fiber look alike hood.

Buddy of mine did it, Dont have any pics sadly. From afar it looked good, when you got close you could tell it wasn't c/f but overall did a nice job. With cheap spray paint from walmart it doesn't cost much to do the paint job either. overall it cost him 20 USD or so to paint his to look like carbon fiber.
