Default Satin Vs Charcoal

What's the actual practical difference between the satin aluminium dash and the charcoal alluminium dash? And sdoes anyone have a photo of the charcoal?

Here's the satin aluminum; the charcoal is just the whole dash in the black you see around the edges.

To each his own; I know you don't like leather either so you'd hate my ride! I like it and I think the aluminum dash breaks up all that black.

I agree... you have to break up all that black. The aluminum makes it look retro and high tech.

I like your taste; satin silver/red leather, good choice-but I'm biased!

Right, one mans trash is another mans...Anyway the metal dash reminds me of an old diner and I'm not particularlly fond of old diners. On the practical side though, I would bet that interior temperatures would be cooler, reflecting some of the light out where the black just soaks it up.

A diner, thats funny! I might actually start eating in my car now! I see what you mean, red and chrome is pretty 60's; thats the retro look I'm after!

That's gonna be the design on the dash on my car. I went after it for the retro.
