Default solid or two tone (new paint job)

well i've decided to keep the sil80 and basically re did everything!!! next up is body work, i've ordered a new front bumper (version select type 1) and after the kit is repaired (bondo'd / re-glassed) and new bumper is installed...it's time for paint. i'm %90 positive i'm going with a shade of red. but heres the question...do i leave the hood carbon, leave the pillars and roof metallic black and paint the rest red (kind of a two tone) OR should i paint everything red. the only thing i dont like about this idea is the fact that the rear quarter glass kind of looks out of place....BUT my hood is oxidizing so it would hide this very well. only other issue with this is that my hood pins would stay black and not too sure what to do with the tailight garnish. thanks for the input!!!!!!

two tone

i'm not a fan of two tone paint jobs on everything but in this case i think it would work.
