CF hood with OEM grille

OK guys,

So I got in an accident and picked up a CF hood off a friend instead of getting an OEM hood, but we put the OEM grille on there so it looks a lot better. But it fits REALLY well.

As you can tell my grille has lost all it's black paint so it's silverish looking, which actually has a good contrast to the CF hood.

Do you guys think I should keep it silver or paint it black?

Here's how it currently stands:

They are EvoDave headlights, but I am going to put Bluebatmobile amber overlays onthem as well (like I did on my tails) to make them nearly identical to the JDM's. No one can tell even if they touch my tails that they aren't the real thing.

Bump Bump- looks like the majority want it painted black. That's what I voted

But now are we talking a glossy black or a flat black?

Apparently I'm alone on this, but I like the contrast. I would leave it as it is. There's so many Evos out there now, it's good to stand out in the crowd.
