The same Carbon Flash.
I wonder what it would look like to even replace all the unpainted plastic trim with exposed carbon fiber.
I like the C7 best in black (I think it would be great in the Flash).

Carbon Flash as the main exterior color would look good.

Not sure about the other years but on the 2014 if you got a black painted car you could NOT get carbon flash mirrors. Odd huh? Maybe GM was worried it would look like a mistake since most mirrors were body colored.

I think a black metallic body color with matte exposed carbon trim would be a nice set up.

I was thinking the same thing yesterday. I think the car would look great. Maybe the last c7 can be all carbon flash.

Our 2008 Acadia was in a color called Carbon Metallic. It was very similar to Carbon Flash. Lots of metallic. Very pretty color with Brick interior.
