I think you should paint it. On red and in person, a painted CF hood is much more aggressive and clean at the same time.
Also, that dual-tone CF look is getting a bit old. The trend, or fad (depending on how you see it) is fading. Having a cleaner looking car (especially the S2000) is the way to go.
Check it:
And now after looking at GTRPower's car, I'd even suggest on yours to paint the front air dam area of your kit black (at least try covering it with black vinyl to get a feel for the look).

Also let me add that if you want to show a bit of CF and paint the rest, here's a few pics to show you what it'd look like (sorry, I could only find Silverstone and black examples):
