Default Carbon Flash Emblems......Convertible?
I just ordered carbon flash emblems for the front and rear but not for the waterfall yet. If a convertible comes from the factory with the CF emblems is the waterfall also CF, wasn't for sure seeing that the emblems in the seats and steering wheel are chrome!

Factory CF emblems are only for the dash, the center console is left with factory black plastic. My feeling is either both in CF or neither. Looks unfinished with only dash in CF. Either way the waterfall is not offered in CF as an option.

i believe the OP is referring to the paint color Carbon Flash, not the material, Carbon Fiber. My convertible has all three emblems carbon flash, and the mirrors as well.

If I have misinterpreted the OP’s question, I’m sorry.

If I mis spoke I apologize.....I currently have Chrome C7 badges/emblems on the front/rear bumper covers along with the chrome badge on the waterfall. I'm going to replace the front & rear with CF emblems. My question is this...when a convertible comes from the factory with the exterior emblems in CF will the waterfall emblem be CF as well seeing how the seat and steering wheel emblem are chrome (at least mine are)!

I'll check mine to be sure, but I think so. Mine came from the factory with the CF badges. I did notice on the front and rear, but never looked at the waterfall. I do know it's black, just need to look closer to see if there's any "flash" in it

Here's one picture from the day after I picked it up, and you can see it's black, now just a matter of if it has any sparkle in it




and here's a close up of the front bumper badge where you can see the "flash"

By the way, C7 rear bumper cover badge is the same as the convertible waterfall badge. The front badge is larger. Just in case you didn't know.

You actually got me thinking about it pretty hard, looked into the Official Black Color Thread and found several.

I think I would want all the emblems to be the same, but that may just be me.
