Default Shark Fin

Okay guys need some input. Should I leave my shark fin as is or paint it.
Here are the choices:

a. Leave it Carbon Black
b. Paint it Gloss Black
c. Paint it car color

I have to decide by tomorrow afternoon, your input is appreciated.
Thanks.

I'd say option C, if maybe like you had the side mirrors painted black and other accents it would look okay, but for you haha, I say, color match.

Color match. Otherwise it looks like it does not belong there.

this would look good, and probably be a more cost effective option. you can vinly wrap the roof and fin for pretty cheap. will leave you more $$ for those staggered rears. lol
