That's all subjective. Your style, your choice. Personally I'd go painted.

I'd leave it cf if my IS was SGM or a dark color. But since your car is Tungsten Pearl, I'd get it painted to match. Good luck.

I'll get the CF if your going for that look
doesn't matter if you have white or black or SGM color
one CF out of nowhere looks ODD IMO

get it painted

I don't like CF exteriors on an IS.

I, on the other hand, love them. But I agree that if you have no other CF parts on your car, you should paint the roof spoiler. Go for a clean look.

Do the roof spoilers have any functional purpose?

I agree 100%! And if I didn't have a CF hood or trunk, I would have painted my roof spoiler black.

No, just for looks. Might make your car even slower because it adds more weight to your car.
