Painted or CF VRS Bootlid??

For those who have Vorsteiner Bootlid on their car, painted or unpainted, please give me your opinions.

Im torn between whether I should get it in unpainted, CF form or partial painted.

Those who dont have VRS bootlid, your opinions are welcome too.

I want to know what you M3 owners think.

Thanks,

I have VRS bootlid envy. I have no idea how much it is, but I'm sure it's more than I want to spend.

I think I would paint the back part (vetical part with the lights) body color and leave the top CF to go with the roof.

I would do partial painted, unpainted gives me the feeling of the car being unfinished.

I think the fade look goes well with a lighter color like white or silverstone. The M3 on the Vorsteiner website has a white car with the faded lip.
