Blk on Blk......wood trim or aluminum accents?

Car of course came with with fake wood trim but someone told me wood trim with blk on blk is a what do you think? With previous Maximas I was not too crazy about the tan interior, now I have blk on blk and I also have options. I was surprised to see the aluminum brushed dash kits were more than $250

Thanks,
Pat

Yeah...personally, I think aluminum is much better than wood for a black interior. But then again...like it's said...it's all personal preference

I think it could be the glare, but how light is your silver? It looks pretty close to white. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess you didn't paint the area around the AC unit because you couldn't get it off the dash. I could be way off.....but what's the deal?

BTW, do you know if the dash around the ACC unit can be taken off (for cars with digital climate control)?

Black on black looks better. Sell your wood trims (they are not fake :-D) and put black maxima trims there. No sticky stuff no paint :-D

You can have just about any company make this color for you. It's special order only, Black Marble similar to what the TL's have.
