For clean look, definitely paint. Unpainted usually shows aggressive and you'd have a lot more exterior mods to go along with it.

Voted leave CF. I think the grey is a nice contrast to the SS and the stock hood is no heavier, so why change if not for the appearance.

You're selling your car....don't paint it. Sell it to me.

...or paint it, sell it to me cheaper.

If you plan on keeping your car, paint it.

But seriously, I'm looking for that hood. Let me know if you want to sell it.

IMHO leave it, I really like carbon fiber on silver. If it was the mugen style hood (or Js?) I would color match it.
