Default Painting vented carbon bonnet

So I've got a facelifted Berlina black, I've bought a second hand seibon mg style bonnet (copy of mugen with vents in ), now I'm not a massive fan or carbon fibre I don't understand the fascination I digress. The louvres/vents do I leave them carbon and paint rest of bonnet black or just paint the whole bonnet black?

Anyone got any pictures or opinions what I should do.

I guess I'd like it stealth looking but if it looks great one way I'll do that.

Thanks

I like it when the vents are left carbon and the rest is painted.

It doesn't work on black cars, no contrast.

I like contrast, paint the vents grey and the rest of it black.

Hmm a quick look around net doesn't reveal much other than this (similar but this is Spoon bonnet).

Still need to find one with carbon vents but think esem is right probably won't work with the contrast.
