With a black car, I'd suggest painting it. IMO, the CF look works well when there is a contrasting body color.

For a subtle look (function over style), paint it.

For an completely modded over look, leave it raw.

damn your car looks sick. You got the whole conversion from fenders too? That hood looks amazing. I would paint the side and leave the middle area cf exposed.
