Paint it. Carbon fiber looks bad IMO. And looks like a donor hood from more than 10 ft away. But if your into the "tuner" look then leave it. I'm sure some honda boys will be impressed. That's about 20 visual HP you know.
If I were you (looking at your cardomain) I would tint my tail lights to match the car's all black theme. And your intake needs a heat sheild!!

It's a matter of taste but I'd say paint it. It'll look good on your dark colored tour (blue or is it black?) Though you have already spent enough for that cf hood.

i say paint it. i actually think it looks worse on a black car. do just one spray to have it semi transparent, best of both worlds
or paint the whole thing but leave the cowl part unpainted
