In narrowing down my final build options, I have concluded that I would like to have the mirrors in carbon flash, and the low spoiler in body color. This will be for a red mist htc with carbon flash nacelles. What isn't quite obvious to me is whether it would make more sense to order mirrors and spoiler in body color, and swap out the body colored mirrors for CF, or order the mirrors and low spoiler in CF and have the low spoiler painted red mist?
I already have a Corsa NPP exhaust, so the rear is coming off anyways. I'm also considering the GM accessory low spoiler, and the ACS speedtail spoler. Both come in carbon flash and would need to be painted red mist.
I'm also kicking around ordering body color accents, and swapping out the rear vents with the standard carbon flash vents. Does anyone have a recommendation as to where to purchase those (beyond a local parts department)?

I don't have an answer but I can appreciate the dilemma. I too would prefer carbon flash mirrors and body color low spoiler. When I saw you can't order it that way I chose no spoiler at all as I don't like a spoiler in anything other than body color.
I went carbon flash mirrors with carbon flash high wing on my AO coupe. The car needs contrast, and often the body colored anything (door boomerang, spoiler, vents) makes the car look dull and too "blended".
Just my opinion, but I would keep as much contrast as possible, the car needs it especially on the back end.

When I saw my first TR C8 with body color boomerangs, etc.....my first thought it that was too much red. My HTC has everything that came on it that was originally black, and I also added carbon flash side mirrors, splash guards, black rocker extensions, and the carbon flash five spoke wheels just on the exterior.
I ordered the carbon flash mirrors and spoiler as I wanted as much contrast between carbon flash and the elkhart blue that I could get. I wanted my rims to be solid black instead of the chrome colored ring, but I've learned to live with it.

I agree with this. I wanted my mirrors and wing to match, but frankly you can’t go wrong. It’s hard to make this car look bad. 😝

I've ruled out body color accents. Can't justify spending that much money on paint and not getting Z51. Still undecided on which spoiler and the color of it. Leaning heavily towards ACS speedtail and splitter, both of which come in carbon flash. Maybe I'll add the wingless side skirts and keep everything carbon flash.
I bought a second set of oem mirror caps and painted them…. I think it cost me about $175 total. They are a little bit of a pain in the butt to swap but there is a YouTube video out there.

All the best.
