To matte black or not to matte black?

Right now I am debating whether to put matte black vinyl on the car or not. The first option is to put matte black vinyl on the roof, trunk, factory spoiler, and on the hood. For the hood, I want to do it the same style as the kizzie in the picture that's on top of the forum.

The second option is to put vinyl on the roof, spoiler and the "S" badge in the rear.
Or should I just keep everything white and simple??
Which one do you guys think would look better on the Kizzie?

Btw, I have a white Kizzie and a set of 18" matte black Enkei Raijin rims. And I have debaged the rear of the car completely.

Just so you know the car at the top is 100% photoshopped.

noooo please don't ruin the car like that, leave it whatever color you have unless it's red, red Kizashi's are ugly as hell lol. You should just keep the color & just mod the car

I think most of us leave the paint alone on our cars. It is hard to keep things classy when you start changing the colors. I'm not saying it can't be done, but it is hard to do.

That said... I'm a fan of matte black accents.

You're asking the wrong guy. I leave my colors alone, but keep in mind I'm a little odd. I even try to keep my cars as quiet as possible when I add performance parts. (Currently trying to figure out if it is possible to get my saabaru to stage 2 without the Subaru rumble. ~20-26% increase performance)

I could just tell you to do it and post pictures. :)
I think it sounds fine as long as you don't use paint. At least then you can go back to the way it was if you hate it.

Regardless good luck.

not matte, but kind of what you are thinking about.

Perhaps put the black on the top and on accents like the spoiler, but I think having an all black hood is overkill. my 2cents.
