How should i paint my bootlid?

Just got a vorsteiner trunk for my jet black e92. How would you guys paint it? What do you think about leaving the entire top (horizontal) surface exposed carbon fiber to match the roof? Will that look tacky? Please vote!

Strip gets my vote, IMO it's the best look.

Johnny Lin, a member on the forum did this to his AW M3. I know he posted pics somewhere.
