Default Carbon fibre pannels, paint or naked?

right then im currently nailing my A4 together as a RS4 widebody`d car, ive managed to get some carbon Kevlar wings, sills and rear arches extensions and was thinking about just having the naked carbon on show, car is silver, what do you think?

i love the idea as ive got bonnet pins in the bonnet and front and rear bumpers (which is also carbon!)

I painted the grill on the front of my s1 and wish I never did now. You can rub it down but you have to be real carefully you don't rub thro into the weave

what about carbon wings/sills and blown in around where arch is bonded onto STD quarters?
