I say go carbon. You don't necessarily have to leave it all carbon either. A ton of different ways you could paint/expose it. You have the same color GP as my Comp G. If I was keeping it I'd put the carbon fiber hood on it. Pics below are of Thriller's silver GP. Don't think he is a member here so far though.
He has said it fits well and has held up excellent. I don't know of any GPs with it running hood pins. It uses the stock hinges and latch. I'd guess a little higher quality than the fenders. My old silver 98 had a carbon fiber F1 hood on it years ago also. Good quality, looked nice.
