gloss black ftw. and carbon fiber hoods look sexy! but ive also seen some people do gloss body and matte the raised part of the hood (center..im not sure what to call it). my friend has aerotect wrap on his hood for the cf look. but its starting to peel off the edges underneath...

i think a matte black racing stripe on a glossy black car would be really hot.

id stick with the lexus gloss black and if you want to have a matte look for the hood, check out the frostbite overlay by aerotect. looks great on black.
