The carbon fiber has an upscale/classy look to it and I specced it on my build, but if I had to do it over again, I would have went with the Brushed Anthracite. I can see fine scratches on the glossy finish under the right light conditions on the carbon fiber. Same goes with the door sills.

However, I would think it is easier to polish off the scratch on the CF than aluminum. Any damage on the metal would be quite hard to fix.

I think some of us put PPF on CF door sills.

Yes, I obsessed about it for forever and I ended up going with the leather. I am very happy with my choice.

Well - I think we need some pics of the Black Brushed Aluminum trim for a comparison. I'm torn now...
... and I'd love to see pics of leather interior trim too...
