Trunk Lip - black or carbon?

Hi guys,

My trunk lip has just came and Im wondering what colour should this be painted! Originally I thought ill just go for black one same as car colour however I've seen today trunk lips not sure if they were true carbon or just covered with carbon foil but they did look good. Im worried that if I paint my trunk lip black it will be kinda "Transparent" because it will be the same colour as car
Let me know your thoughts, thanks!

That is tall enough that it will not disappear if you matched the car's paint!
You might consider hydrographics (water transfer printing) - it can look just like carbon: https://www.instagram.com/hk_tuning/?hl=en

Where did you find this one? That's the style I want, hopefully painted glossy black. Most I see are either really thin or the style with the middle inset more than the sides. Too aggressive imo
