No, paint them because it won't look good w/ your wheels.

I'm unsure. I would have to see them on the car first.

If I had a stock Z then I would do a CF lip, sides, rear diffuser, hood and the Asuka cf hatch. Maybe fenders but the fenders would kind of make it too much cf but I think that all of those cf parts would look bad *ss. If I didn't go the widebody route that is what I would have done with my car anyways. I have cf accents on my car. I have a Seibon VT style hood painted except for the gills, cf gt style mirrors, and cf B pillars. So I say don't paint.

There aren't many colors where CF will look bad, as long as you don't pepper the car with it. You paid $$ for CF, let it show.

CF....is sick...i wouldn't have it anyother way that unpainted...actually..im talking shi* cause my hood is painted black and it's carbon fiber...but then again..my a-pillars w/dual gauges pod are CF, my rear strut, the outside mirror panel cover, b-pillar, soon...my engine cover, battery & break fluid, my strut bar under the hood, the shroud...all in CF..along with possibly my cented console..but i'm still debating that..might just go with my exterior color...

Thanks guys for your support and interest. The wise thing would be to see how they look on the car first so thats what I'll do.
