My preference would be body color matching mirrors.

Default Mirrors

Seems like the consensus is.....Body colored mirrors seem to flow better and refined but the black is more sporty!!!

I usually like black but on the top picture it seems excessive. (post #55)

I agree, but IMO it's a plus with any model. I've had both, 2015 Stringray with red mirrors and 2017 GS with black (CF), both with black wheels and spoiler. The black mirrors fit with that scheme.

with you 100% and would not have owned one without the Carbon Flash mirrors! HONESTLY that's how much I also think they complete the black look of the car!

There are two options I wished I had added when I ordered my Torch red C7

#1 Black mirrors
#2 Hood stripe

After seeing what black mirrors look like I changed my build order to black mirrors. I think they look better with the combination I have set to pull the trigger on soon.

Don't forget about the BLACK WHEELS then it will be perfect!
