Front splitters colored matched

Has anyone colored matched their front splitters ? Might sound little crazy due to them being Carbon but I like different things and was wondering is someone tried that rout..

I've started to think that the upper portion would look pretty decent paint-matched and leaving the lower section exposed.

I'm getting front splitters and side extensions done in gloss black to match the competition trim.

We have fully painted a couple sets however no photos of them installed.

We also offer them with the CRT painted accent line.

CRT adds a nice touch.
The only benefit i see of color matching entire CF splitter is if you absolutely hate them and they came from the factory therefore betalinked = cannot be removed unless you plan on repainting the entire bumper. (Believe me i know speaking from experience, luckily i didnt have to repaint the bumper but decided to live with the splitters).

However, if you dont have the CF splitters on the car yet I cannot see how painted splitters would look better than factory body line in the particular space these splitters go into..

I'm going with the IND version with the painted line. I think it'll look better with that line. Also never thought about painting the whole thing....do whatever you like most, it's your car. If you go full paint, please post the pics.

As far as IND, would love to see the CRT line version on a black M5.
