Seibon Carbon fiber trunk

Just installed a Seibon carbon fiber trunk. Got a great deal and fitment is amazing with the help of a few washers. Looking to paint the most of back except the top and leave the top exposed. Enjoy let me know you thoughts to paint or leave carbon.

Please paint. Only the roof and aero bits looks good in carbon. Otherwise the car ends up looking like a cheap, unfinished import tuner project.

If you leave the top and get a CF good it could look cool with all top surfaces being CF. otherwise exposed CF on trunk or hood usually looks off, to me at least.

They sell for around a $1K plus shipping. I paid a lot less than that. My buddy was adding a APR wing and didn't want the trunk sitting around.

I am looking to get the carbon fiber hood and just have the top carbon with the back painted. yea, I am not trying to have that unfinished import tuner look.
