I voted for unpainted 1x1 carbon fiber, because that's what I would buy

 

If you look above I said all painted but the sides gloss black. All painted body color except for black looks terrible.

 

manipulating your opinion for humor required some brevity :-)

 

Quit ragging on the guy for getting some opinions, personally I wouldnt do either of those, this is how I will paint my hardtop one day. Best (and probably cheapest) way to paint a hardtop in my opinion.

 

definitely paint it, i had cf top but sold it and got a painted one, looks 100x better

 

See how it looks unpainted and then paint it if you need too. Seems like the best of both worlds. Slap it on there; if you don't like it. Take it off and get it painted. Nawmeen?

 

Are you going with the Mugen style or the OEM style? Seeing that you still have your black windshield tape on there, if you paint your hardtop you may have to remove it so that it matches. If you go CF, you can get away without having to remove the black tape. Should you decide to paint the hardtop yellow, you can also cover it with black vinyl to go for the CR theme and once you're tired of that, remove it and you'll have a yellow top again.
