Like I said, each to their own matey.  :smiley:

Personally, I can't stand wood trim unless its actually wood (not cheapey plastic imitation wood).

Fortunately, my car already had the brushed alu trim in when I bought it, but most people swap the wood out for black, or more recently, Carbon Fibre substitutes. Dont think I would have been able to stump up the cash for the alu stuff myself though.
