Default Roof Spoiler, leave it CF or paint it black??

I got my JUN-TW roof spoiler in CF to go with my CF front lip when I had it, but now the roof spoiler is only CF on my car and it feels lonely. Need help deciding what to do, leave it the way it is or paint it black so no more CF. It doesn't really stand out or pop, and you can't even tell its CF unless you get up close to it now during the daylight and in most lighting.

Here is a picture of it so you get the idea of how it blends in well with the Obsidian.


Thanks

Do the Fabulous CF pillars look good and do you think it's worth it? haha
Seeing some vinyl overlays they tend to look more like checkerboard.

Thanks for all the fast replies. I'll leave it the way it is and save $$$$ and look at other CF accents for the exterior, minor things but I dunno, never was really a fan of CF pillars. Saw another 2IS here at USC with it, looks alright, and another one has chrome pillars.
