Just stick with some new OEM fenders.

CF fenders tend to have poor fitment and to me, it's just having CF in the wrong place but whatever floats your boat

On a black can it can look nice, even more with a CF trunklid. but in general i'd say, paint them.

it's not a dumb idea to put on cf fenders since the stuff is a lot stonger than body metal...no dents from people smashing their door off your car.

but i would paint them
