Default Hood wrapped?

Has anyone wrapped the hood? Either entirely or partially in the middle section within one of the two body lines? I'm wondering if it would look good or if it would be too much..something similar to but obviously better than my awesome paint skills below?

I'd say u have enough of black and white going on already and adding the hood would be too much and too ricey.

Keep the GS Sporty and Classy.

I think the black between the grills is overdoing it, just wrap the grill and the roof gloss black.

Thanks for the feedback. The fact that I'm questionable about it is enough reason to not do it and the consensus here only helps determine that to be the right call.

I like the bumper and other small bits but as other said with the hood you're into that tuner look which doesn't fit the GS. Even if you wrapped the hood for a carbon look it would be much as those are usually found only on more track focused cars. Keep it classy as is.

U know what... Maybe if u wrap the hood with white carbon fiber wrap it will look sick cause u have a white car. But maybe not.
