well ive ordered the "SportDesign steering wheel" and it seems that the standard "plastic" trim (like in below pic) is more consistent finish (than "brushed aluminium" finish) with steering wheel
Also i would like to ask whether its better to keep the standard aluminium in the centre console or have it leathered as seen below?.. ur feedback and advice will be appreciated .. me personally im leaning towards leathering it

The aluminum brushed finish looks great IMO. But I think it will scratch, scuff and dent easier than the standard silver finish trim. If it were me, I 'd stick with the standard trim and use the $ for something else.

it's not really in a position where it's in much danger of being scratched, scuffed and dented ...

I have the 2-tone black/platinum grey full leather with the standard silver trim pieces, I'm strongly considering changing them to carbon fiber, I think w the 2tone it would look great. I don't know anything about how carbon fiber is made, I used to have it n my Audi S5 cab I ordered from the factory. I see carbon kits on EBay, is this just a film applied over the plastic pieces?

I live in El Paso texas and we get a lot of sun here (no rain LOL). the aluminum on the center console reflected the sunlight in my eyes real bad. I have not heard of anybody else notice this, but it drove me to purchase this piece in leather.
