Carbon Flash????

Can someone clarify!! what is carbon flash??? When you order CFZ? are the Carbon parts painted? and if it is not a gloss black, what is it?? and if you order the Carbon Flash mirrors, are they done in the exact same color and finish?? And does anyone have any pictures of carbon flash finish?? Thanks JD

The fins on the hood, rear brake cooling vents etc are all done in Carbon Flash.

Otherwise, look at any close-up photograph of a Stingray vent or the rear fascia.

Since Carbon Flash is a paint, all parts painted in that color should look identical to all other parts painted in that color.

Yes, on CFZ the carbon fiber is painted with the paint called Carbon Flash. If there are imperfections in the carbon fiber pattern, the piece will be painted over and sold at a lower price -- that is, CFZ and CFV are identical except that the CFZ carbon fiber has some cosmetic imperfection that can be hidden with paint.
