I say paint it if that is the only CF part that you have, if you are going to get more to compliment it, then leave it. just my 0.2 cents.

Then I raise the question, do CF overlays for the pillars look tacky or bad? Possibly considering for a trim item to go with the spoiler.

Paint the whole thing black, and the inner part keep it CF, so that you can brag about it to your friends that it is CF, see closely.

I really don't have anything else on my car that is CF, if I did I would keep it and do that, but rather go with just a black/chrome theme that is very oem.

I took everyone's opinion into consideration, but went with my gut and I like it. Traded the CF Roof Spoiler for Black spoiler with SD.IS and it definitely flows much better.

Not a fan of CF (hood, lip, spoiler) even since the honda civic era. I say paint it and make it flow with the rest of your car. Unless you don't care about the luxurious look.
