Carbon Flash painted mirrors & spoiler
 
Does anybody have any idea what these are - or have seen any pics? I'm tentatively planning to order them, but I'm starting to have doubts. The car looks pretty good with the painted spoiler.:hide:

Here is a Laguna Blue with the carbon flash mirrors and spoiler:

The better question is do they appear "black" or do they appear to look like the "carbon fiber" on the inside. I am torn as well.

THANKS!!! I like the mirrors, but I'm not sure I want the rear spoiler to "jump out", It's an add on unit to begin with, and the design teachers all tell you to accentuate only POSITIVE elements of a design.

I'm thinking I'll pass and spend the money (and a tad more) on the sueded microfiber interior elements.
:cheers:

Black metallic, like the vents.

I ordered this on my Cyber Gray with black wheels

No question the painted mirrors and spoiler look to me like the owner could not afford the body colored ones. Actually makes the car look like military issue...

Just an FYI for those who are interested - the Carbon Flash paint that's used is the same as what was used on the 2012 Centennial Edition Corvettes. Think of it as metallic black. Another way to describe it is as a black version of Night Race Blue.

looks tacky to me, and Im in the young 30's. I thought about this and then looked up European style and did not see any cars with style that had carbon fiber painted mirrors etc. Lambo's ferrari, Aston, all had reg car color mirror etc. IT mattered to me maybe not others, but europeans do create the style like it or not...

They should offer to have just the spoiler painted Carbon Black. The black mirrors look odd to me.

The option being discussed is not for carbon fiber painted anything. It's for painting the mirrors and rear spoiler in a metallic black color that's called Carbon Flash Metallic. It has nothing to do with carbon fiber.

gotcha but still, no difference. thanks for appropriate name. even less cool now :).

Black mirrors look horrendous!

Bill17601 05-25-2013 04:42 PM

Paying $100.00 to do that is horrendous..
