In my opinion the shine of the hood doesn't match the rest of the car, so in order to get a stylish design I would only clear coat it in a matt/semi gloss finish.

My one is a 3M wrap and looks gorgeous because of the structure of the material.

I would not paint the CF hood in the colour of the car - not because of some mismatch in colours, more because of the CF waffle structure. I have a complete CF fairing on my motorcycle so the only way to get a flat surface is lots of paint layers or even plenty of filler...

So buy some more parts and match the gloss to each other
