Question for owners with saddle interior.

Do you have saddle interior with wood or aluminum trim? The dealer doesn't have any cars in stock,so I am having a difficult time deciding which trim to select since I can't see it in person. Thanks

Aluminum trim and I think it looks great. Jet Black car adds to the combo. Not sure every exterior would come out the same.

I went montego/saddle/aluminum and hope that it turns out good. Hopefully have my car in a couple weeks as well and I will post pics as soon as I can.

Lots of other folks have done the same so you may find some in the gallery section.

I just think the ALuminum trim looks unfinished...I hope that you actually seen the aluminum trim before you bought it...I seen one in person and like i said, it looks unfinished and cheap...You see the actual machined grooves in the trim...its rough and coarse

Hence "brushed" aluminum.

I personally dislike all the wood, besides grey poplar. Opinions are like assholes you know...

I have aliuminium with saddle. Loads of pics of my car so do a search.
Wood to too fake and old world for me. But the polished black piano is nice if you get it over there. Its stock on the SE in the UK but £400 with m sport package which gets aluminium as std!! (I got the m sport pack, but don't like the piano black enough to spend 400 quid!

I decided that I wanted wood so that it would look warmer than alum. I also decided on Light Poplar instead of the darker walnut. Figured with the AW the lighter color will be better especially with the black two tone appearance. Anyway, will hopefully be only 3 weeks from today when I can post pictures.
