I'm gonna say no, because it will seem as though you are a wannabe carbon fiber hood guy.

spring for the c/f man. otherwise having a hood different from your bodycolor looks cheap imo.

imho, carbon fiber looks like **** unless you are upclose to really see that it is carbon fiber. From far away, it just looks like you've got mismatched paint.

Just having the hood flat black looks horrible in my opinion, but some of the most beuatiful cars ever made had flat black hoods along with some other features too(top of the fenders, spoilers, logos, etc).
  I think a celica would look good if you had it painted the right way with flat black. |
