Default Carbon Flash

Is the rear bumper on our C7s considered carbon flash? (some call it black metallic).
I assume if you didn't want a body colored spoiler, a carbon flash color would match the bumper. Although some have carbon fiber spoilers.

Carbon flash metallic is the paint color.

It's Carbon Flash. I was surprise to see that even on all black C7s, it still painted Carbon Flash... w/the metallic flake, unlike the rest of the car.

All C7 have Carbon Flash Bumpers unless someone changes the color to match there car, in that case it is a custom job.

I think it is a beautiful color. I saw a '12 GS in CFM when looking at '14s, and if I hadn't had my heart set on a C7, I probably would have bought it. Simply gorgeous!

1st time I ever heard of CFM, I was ordering my 2012 Camaro 45th anniversary(only color option was CFM). Dealer said "oh it's just black, they call it fancy names". Then it arrived, they unloaded it, we pulled the wrap off in the sun and I fell in love with it. I'm so glad my vette has the CFM accents. All the vents, rear diffuser, grille and badges look solid black until the sun hits them, it's just gorgeous
