Yes, absolutely. However, I don't think people are reacting to the fact that you want to try something different. They're reacting to the fact that you've only been here a week and two threads that you've started are bashing. The thread about the cobra bumper seemed to be completely unsolicted. People don't take too kindly to that, even from a veteran member.
If you want to paint the chrome strip, that's great, but titling the thread "ugly butt" isn't the right way to go about it, at least until people get to know you better. People will get the impression that you're only here to cause trouble.
Back on topic, I don't know of any carbon fiber (expensive), but painting it would definitely be a possibility. Many people have painted the chrome grille ring on the front, try searching Aesthetics for something like "paint grille" or similar and see what comes up. I remember someone mentioning that you could take off the chrome with muratic acid, then sand, prime, and paint the area. You'd probably have to remove the chrome strip from the rear reflector to do that, though.
