you can keep the middle part of the splitter CF, and paint the rest titanium gray... that should look very subtle.

I think the CF looks nice!
Yup, keep it carbon fiber, or trade with someone that has a painted one. That would be a waste of the precious carbon fiber if you were to paint over it.

Keep the CF
If you're interested I am arranging a GB for Seibon CF Eyebrows if you're going to go along that route....

Looks terrible! You should ditch it completely, and sell it to me at a steep discount! 
(like the CF, I vote keep)

You're right, my shadow grills complements it. Just looking at the picture, now I'm tempted to replace my front mesh with a blacked out wire mesh this is a DIY..
