RE: hood

I think it depends on the color of your car, but either way, you should plan on painting the roof to match.

RE: hood

Second that. Silver with a black hood/roof would look very nice (considering that for my car too).

In that case, hell yes. But only if you also do the roof.

RE: hood

It looks good if done right and the roof is done also. I think it looks best if the center part of the hood is painted(inbetween the 2 creases).
