Why I switched in the last minute from dark aluminum to leather trim. Also one less surface texture. Might want to check this thread - https://rennlist.com/forums/gt4/8968...r-package.html

Took a look at all the pics in the threads and decided to stay with it. Even with the lighter black I like the look - understanding the pics don't seem to totally capture exactly how it looks in person.

My second concern was that the rear brace behind the seats is standard brushed aluminum - so it won't completely match. But that may not be a big deal in person.
