To paint or not to paint?

Ok I am painting my white camaro RS a new color and adding cervini's cowl and possably a high rise. I'm thinking about a few different colors, but I'm painting my engine bay a semi-gloss black. So my question is The underside of my hood should I match the body or the engine bay? Also high rise or or wrap around? My opion on the wing is If my hood is stickin up the wing should to.

One last thing feel free to give me a few body colors that you like.
I might stay white or go to a corvette type of grey I really like. Blacks not out of the pictute either

I dunno. Lets say you have a car that you show at a meet or car show.... I think it'd look good to see the hood the correct color, not black underneath.
