Looking for Feedback

I've photoshoped this new paint scheme. I'm looking to have a little fun with some new panels and hood, and would like any input.

Looks like you ran out of money while painting your car and couldn't finish.

I would just leave it black, looks very clean and stylish that way.

Leave it black. Best thing would probably be get a CF hood. That would be nice. But very expensive.

Carbon fiber fenders... not so much. Just my opinion.

The idea here was kind of a partial grayscale harlequin look. Here's the story, it is a wreck. A while ago I got in a major front end and had to rebuild the car using a parts car. What you don't see now is 2 black, but badly trashed black fenders and a red hood and red lights (from the parts car). I have the two new fender panels ready to go, and am preparing to prep the hood and lights. I in no way can afford to get carbon fiber panels, but like the basic look of a 'cut' car. (also am worried the new black won't perfectly blend with the old).
I do appreciate the feedback, that's why I put this here. I'll rethink.

A new black will look a lot better than grey which won't come close to matching at any distance.
