Default Wood trim or ALuminum

Hey guys. I have a 2006 S40 in silver with black T-tec interiors. The car came with the wood trim. Would the aluminum trim look better, since the car is silver and all? Thanks

I would say yes to the Aluminum.. I think the wood grain IMO looks out of place in a little sporty car, but that's just me..

There's a few autp recyclers that have "gently loved" aluminum trim from other s40's at a fraction of the cost of the "stealership" OR there are aftermarket kits you can get. Depends on your budget..

I feel your pain. My 05 is black with the off-black leather...and WOOD...

Its sad that my s40 reminds me of my 98 Chrysler Sebring AT ALL.

These recyclers are on the east coast, but specialize in Volvos.
