Sorry it’s taken so long. I never got around to dusting.

It’s black.

I got the dark oak gloss and I'm disappointed with it. It has no graining or "texture" like it did in the G30. It really just looks like shiny black plastic unless you look at it very carefully under extremely bright light. Not really a big deal but if I was ordering again, I'd get a different trim.

On a positive note, because it's so neutral, it doesn't clash with any of the ambient light colors.

That's why I used Fine Wood Gray Blue Open Pore Ash. No fingerprints at all and only very few dust particles on it.

I have a fine open pore and my husband thinks it looks like plastic, too. I thought the open pore would help because glossy wood usually looks like plastic. If I could redo, I would use carbon fiber, like I had in my Jaguar. It looks nice and sporty, which would go better in the car because of the lack of leather.

Does anyone have the aluminum rhombical trim and can comment on it? I have it in my G30 and it is a good contrast to the black dash and mocha leather but prefer either the grey blue open pore ash or dark oak high gloss.

Can you take more pictures?

Does this look good, light trim with dark int.? This is open pore light with bronze accent.

Another dilemma, wait for MY25 or order now?

Dark looks a little better in my opinion.

I saw it at Crevier - looked extremely "tin foil"-like. It was much more pronounced in the interior than any other trim. We didn't care for it.

I think it really depends on seat color among other things. In the G30 you can’t really see the texture in pictures but it’s definitely there in person. Also it was the trim of choice for the press photo car at launch - Mediterranean blue paint with mocha nappa leather (same as my car) - so it contrasts well with dark seats and dash but would have looked much different with other colors. Overall I think I prefer a black or dark grey trim.
