most ppl would prob agree..since a blacked out teg looks kinda...plain. but what are red/blue rolla's...hehe
I personally dont think a carbon fiber hood is worth the $$$ on a black car primarily for visual reasons (spending $$$ for an expensive CF hood on a black car to save 50 lbs has very low priority on my list of to-do). I like the way CF hoods look on white/yellow cars, but on a black car...I think you're better off getting a functional vented hood (like the mugen one). If you do end up getting a carbon fiber hood paint it so it matches the rest of your car.
Rims? Gunmetal is really getting into style; I'm still waiting to see how my LE-37's are going to look on my teg, but gunmetal is clean and aggressive. By red accent dress up I'm assuming you mean some 2-tone color matching deal; black + red =
