lol, so if you have a green, or red, or blue car, and the hood is black, that's not ugly?

A NA SOHC engine doesn't need a vented hood to cool what is - where the turbo isn't. A turbo generates a crapload of heat when the car is stopped. If your car were boosted, then I'd say the hood is tolerable.
But I've already determined that I hate the look of un-painted carbon fiber with any non-black car wearing a license plate. Even with a black car, I still think it looks bad. I don't think it looks as clean as a good paint job does. Painted CF body parts = anti-rice because it's hiding the lightweight modification. Pretty sleepy. You're the only one that needs to know about it anyway... right?
I'm probably a lot like your friend is with my own opinions, and you shouldn't take my opinion for squat unless you're having second thoughts about the hood yourself. Your car looks a little street-racer-ish to me. Especially if those are black steelies (can't tell). Cars that look that way tend to get unnecessary attention from the po po, and messed with by much faster cars.
It doesn't look like it's any older than a '95. You've kept it up.
EDIT: Ugh, saw the cardomain page. Lose the SOHC VTEC passenger airbag cover. You already know what it is.
