Default Z06 rear vents stick on in carbon flash.

I can't seem to find this. I've seen the kind that necessitate dropping part of the quarter panel in carbon flash, and I've seen the stick on kind in carbon fiber, but no stick on in carbon flash.



Here is the closest I can find, but my car is laguna blue with everything in carbon flash. I don't want any chrome or carbon fiber on the car.

The above I believe is a real C7 Z06 vent as noted by the top part that scoops in more air, it comes in carbon flash, these are a direct replacent for the stock C7
while the other is American car craft

Thanks, but I already know this.

I'm looking for the type from ACC, in carbon flash, not carbon fiber.

Sorry, it was not clear to me what you were looking for so took a stab... FWIW I have not ever seen them do a Z06 style vent in either finish, nor do they appear to be on their website, not to say they do not exist. Best of luck !!

You could always get it and have it painted.

Just an FYI, the ones from ACC are simply flat with the profile of the car and do not scoop any extra air in. In fact, they block part of the duct from receiving air. If you don't mind that, then your best bet may be to get the ACC part and spray it carbon flash (or call them and ask about it). Its easy to get a premium finish even with a rattle can if you do it right. Many threads on home painting small pieces.

With the number of people talking about the overheating issues I'd be hesitant to cover any of the vent.
