Makes the interior look bland imo and the carbon trim really seems to liven it all up imo.

Each to their own though.

I like mine.

Can't see the point of carbon fibre - if you want to make something light, if it's not needed just remove it.

Exactly, it's nothing to do with weight reduction, these are no lightweight racer, it's the look of the chequering that I like and people comment on the look of the trim all the time. I just think the Piano is like another black bit of leather on there that is shiny and it just doesn't do anything to accentuate the sportiness of the interior.. the missus likes it too and being an interior designer I tend to value here opinions on Feng Shui than some forum members :D

Had the aluminium finish in the S4 and that looked good against the black interior.
