the only colour you can get away with unpainted CF is black. otherwise, it's kinda gaudy and ugly.

so, my guess is, for the sake of being a complete eyesore, yes.

i have the same fenders on my car. fitment sucked at first. i had to do the following to get them close to perfect:

-drill out each mounting hole one size up
-cut out inner fender lip
-slightly shave down the area around the headlights for correct clearance between headlight and fender
-used washers between panels to get body lines to line up.

on top of all that, i still have minor fitment issues around where the fender meets the upper part of the door/windshield.

i regret buying these fenders, and tried selling them but nobody would buy them. the carbon fiber weave around body lines where the vacuum bag smushed everything were also all messed up. . .so i HAD to paint mine, which sucks because i wanted to keep the area around the vent carbon fiber.

cool effect when you paint them though, or any carbon fiber for that matter, is that you can see the weave through the paint.
