Which way to paint my hood?

Just picked up my paint for my hood, spoiler and the area between my tailights yesterday and now I'm having some second thoughts on how to paint my Mustang. Originally I planned on painting my Steeda hood the way Steeda does gloss black with blue then blacking out my spoiler, the backend of the car between the tailights and with black rocker stripes down the side. Now I'm leaning towards painting the entire cowl hood black... Just wanted to get some input on this thought a poll might help

Either paint it all blue or do it the way steeda does it. I don't think it will look good all black.

I agree, either body color or steeda. It would look like you got a hood from the wreckers if it was completely a different color.

I dunno I've seen alot of mustangs with black cowl hoods. I know the GTR's hood is carbon fiber but you get the idea.

I blame my brother its his fault suggesting something differnt when I already had it all planned out So hard to decide on exterior mods sometimes, thanks for the input so far.

Deric thats pretty sweet Thanks for taking the time to do that for me I appreciate it! It will help me decide tho... it looks like the poll is pretty one sided I'm still not totally sure what I'm going to do yet.

I did a black out this 06" GT with 1/8th inch tracers .On my 07GT I kept off the edge of the hood because of rock chips.
