We investigate the observational effect of a superwind mass-loss phase driven by a thermal pulse in the interior of infrared carbon stars. We modify the dust density distribution by adding dust to form a region of enhanced density which proceeds outward. Depending on the position and the degree of the enhancement, the emergent model spectral energy distributions can be significantly different from...
