If you want it to look clean, then paint it. If you want it to look aggressive then don't.

my other car has lots of carbon fiber, i recently clearcoated it. i wished to hell i did not go for the panda look, it'd look much better all just one color, but, in post fast&furious times it was the rage, now, i shun carbon fiber...

If your car is black then paint it cf on a black car dosent look right. Me personaly i like evrything one color. If its not black than the hood you could leave exposed but that would be about it. Going over board with cf looks dumb I think its as if you want everyone one to know you saved a total of 5lb by wasting about 2.5k on cf hood fenders and trunk lid.
