Agree! I hunted the entire country to find what I wanted and hit on "close" what I wanted 1,000+ miles away. Deal done as it had what I wanted EXCEPT for the exposed CF roof and the Carbon Flash mirrors/spoiler. Like the roof but don't think I like it $2,000 worth. The CF mirrors/spoiler was like $100 and since I had already added $22k+ to the base price I almost felt I had to have this $100 option---LOL
Frankly, I love it but as noted, it depends on color. Mine is AW and the contrast is awesome.

I am ordering mine with body colored mirrors but will change the spoiler out for a black one in time. When I bought my 02 Mustang all I read online at the time was how cheap Ford was for putting black mirrors on cars instead of body color. Can't win I guess!

BTW, does anyone actually have a good comparison photo between the two badges? Yesterday I was thinking of starting a thread to discuss the "cheaper options" which are the ones I can't seem to make my mind up about. (Door Sills, emblems and whatnot)

I went for it on my Laguna Blue order. I also got the hood stinger stripe.

The carbon flash mirrors and spoiler look great in person and nothing like a standard gloss or plain plastic. I personally think the reflective flakes make the paint look of higher quality than the rest of the body panels.

Probably less peel too ...

I ordered my Velocity Yellow convertible with the carbon flash stinger stripe,mirrors,and spoiler. I was not disappointed. Carbon badges were not available when I ordered my car or I would have gotten them also. I also got the black wheels with yellow calipers. I was able to get a great look with my car. Sadly,I was only able to drive it 150 miles before it was retired for the winter. I look forward to April 1st.

+1 for CF mirrors and spoiler. This was the option that I struggled with the most. But after having the car for a while I would have it with out it. Love it.

It's going to look stunning either way. Choose, you can go wrong!

Nosferatu

YES YES YES!!! Do the Carbon Flash.

Fiance has the car at work or I'd take some photos now of it. All the photos I have of mine is with the roof off It's the carbon fiber exposed roof with all the carbon bits (mirrors, spoiler, badges). I love the contrast of it. Helps pop out the colors more.

Here's how it looks with roof on...only got video

Thanks everybody! Clearly its a split decision which means it will look good anyway I choose. Right now I'm leaning towards the black badges and blue spoiler and mirrors.

silky1: How did you black out the chrome grill stripe? I like the look.

Once I saw the option I had to have it with the carbon emblems, and I love it, I'll be blacking out the strip aswell next days off, nice to be able to get a lot of options like blacking certain things out, saves having to paint things if you want a certain look like I did with my cts v

I went with carbon all. I couldn't do the mirrors as I didn't get ZF1, but I will get them painted after I get the car

OldJedi

I say yes, but I am biased!

jma242

I went to look at some C7s tonight. I can't believe I'm stuck on a $100 option lol. Both looks pretty good!

With black wheels, CF badges, mirrors and spoiler are the only way to go. Trust me.

coupeguyz51

Badges are subtle/understated cool...mirror spoiler, not so much...two tone cars rarely look good....

DCortez

I'm going to say yes, yes, and yes.

It was a tough decision for me on the black. Had I gotten the Laguna blue, I might have gone color matched everything and silver wheels. However my wife REALLLYYY wanted black wheels, and if that was the case, I figured I go w black contrast.

We ended up with red (like my last vette.. shocker) and for that color, I think the carbon flash is a must. Unfortunately We didn't do ZF1 package, so I got the spoiler CF and I will have to get the mirrors painted. I think it will look great though.
