Help Me Decide, Please...
I want to order a Z51 type rear spoiler from a Forum vendor that sells coat hooks for oil magnets. 
Now. Here is my dilemma. Do I order it in white to match the body or in carbon flash.

Go with the carbon flash - will look really good on your AW car.

NO CARBON FLASH......
Only get it in Carbon Flash if the side mirrors are also in that color-then you have a "theme" to your C7.
If your side mirrors are white, so should your rear spoiler be.

You've got to keep your car "together" with the theme.
If your side mirrors are black and your wheel are black, then a white spoiler doesn't go together either.

You can't go wrong either way although i do agree with keeping it to match your side mirrors. Thats how mine is which came from the factory that way. I do think you should get rid of the dealer decal/sticker

How about RED??? LOL Carbon Flash is going to be a flash in the pan and date your Vette if you plan to keep it for several years.
We almost ordered the carbon flash mirrors/spoiler on our VY Z51. And are we glad!!!!!! The accents on the side, tail and carbon flash emblems are perfect, but too much CF is just too much....
But... it's your car... you have to be happy.

I had carbon flash on my old Camaro and always felt that something was out of place with the rest of the car. It's way overdone.
