Default Need help deciding: Silver vs. Alumalook interior parts

I can't decide. Should i get silver painted or alumalook painted interior parts for my car? The pics are here:

As you can see its a plain silver C2 cab. I am getting CF wheel, shifter and break handle. I am debating between alumalook or silver painted rear center console and seatbelt outlets. As for the doors, i am debating between CF (matches steering wheel), silver (matches rear center console) or alumalook.

Suggestions? How does alumalook compare to silver? Whats best for a Silver on Black cab?

We paint both. Most owners of Arctic cars do Arctic on the interior, however if you have other alumalook in the car in a major way, not the small stuff, then alumalook makes more sense.

Check the 'gallery' section at BumperPlugs.com for some ideas.

The aluma finish on the shifter and brake handle will be higher metallic flake and lighter color than Arctic, but it works well both ways (alum console vs arctic, for example).
