To paint or not to paint the Carbon Fiber running boards?

[Phat73VW]

:help:

ok so my c/f running boards are in need of a reclearing and I have done it several times before but I am now contemplating color matching them to the car and leaving a strip of the carbon visible along the bottom. Just looking for opinions because I have seen it done before but sometimes it just depends on the car itself.

And I cant find the pics of the ones I've seen before so if you have any you can post please do. My paint gun is patiently waiting! Either way they are getting sanded down and sprayed with something! lol

Anyone done it recently?
Here is my car currently.... and then my horible attempt at photoshopping the boards painted...
